This afternoon there was a significant event involving the McHenry County Sheriff's Department in the Marengo area. SWAT was called out, and MARV rolled. Had there been gunfire at the house in the vicinity of Route 23 and NW Road (south of Kishwaukee Valley Road)?
At one point it was observed that there appeared to be at least one security camera outside the residence, and an announcement was made that they intended to knock out the cameras. So just what does that mean?
Are deputies allowed to destroy, disable or tamper with property of a resident, as they attempt to take a person into custody? Did they think that a person (or persons) inside a house could monitor their activities outside the house, and so the deputies thought they could "knock out" cameras that they thought could be used to watch them?
How fully will this afternoon's activities be reported?

Where's the press release?
Wouldn't you think that by 9:00PM the Sheriff's Department could finalize at least one media release about this afternoon's incident involving a SWAT call-out, MARV, guns - all the stuff that makes headlines?
The Chicago Tribune ran a story about this last night at 9:09PM.
The Northwest Herald ran its online story at 5:30AM today.
The media release is STILL not on the Sheriff's website.
