Surely, just surely, they had a reason for drawing their weapons. I thought they were rules regarding pulling your weapon. I'm not sure that raw foods qualifies.

Maybe the rules are when you have a warrant, and you "raid" a building with unknown person or persons,,you do so with guns drawn until you access the threat. It's a little late the other way around. 
Wasn't there and not privy to the criminal backgrounds of the people. Cops want to go home at the end of the day

Actually,,that was my reality check on the article. Real attention getter and makes for "sensational" reading. That's their job. Police depts policies and procedures vary. By the same token,,,,just because you like fresh, raw foods, doesn't eliminate you as a potential threat. Don't mean to get on the soap box.

I am not worried about what the cops "want" -- this is about our freedom to eat real food and not get shot in the process. It is no new news that policeman just do what they are told. As far as criminal backgrounds go -- they were sent in to confiscate cheese and honey, not Crack. The story is less about improper use of force than about powerful interests who seek to control the world's food supply.Maybe the rules are when you have a warrant, and you "raid" a building with unknown person or persons,,you do so with guns drawn until you access the threat.

I don't doubt what you are saying is true. Probably is. I guess my "beef" (no pun intended ) is the fact that you choose to berate a group of professionals, on a public forum, that I happen to have respect for when you can't possibly have all the facts nor do you have in site into the inner workings of law enforcement. If you did,,,,you might entertain the idea that all is not always as it seems and maybe there are reasons things get done the way they do for safety issues. Who makes the decision that a raid on a crack house is different from a cheese store? Those officers are probably the same ones that do the crack houses. " O.K officers,,we normally have our weapons out and ready on raids,,,but this is a cheese store,,so, keep those guns in the holsters" Doesn't work like that if for no other reason than consistency eliminates mistakes. Mistakes get officers and civilians killed.
Like I said,,,I think this is a no win discussion. I mean no offense to you or anyone. I obviously bothers me that over a thousand law enforcement men and women loose their lives every year serving the public and they get called "clowns" on a public forum for doing their job.
