F...I have to disagree with you on some of this Gus. First of all, the call could have started out with a simple well being check depending who made the call and what they said. Not a big deal. As far as Nygren not speaking to reporters immediately and using a PIO (who I thought was in way over her head), that's also OK. He was probably working the case, speaking to the officers, his Command Staff etc., etc. Also not a big deal. Remember, he had two of his Officers shot. Speaking to the press himself was not a priority. Nor should it be. As far as being shot through the door, we don't know what happened. Did the guy start firing as soon as they began walking up the sidewalk, the stairs, as they stood in front of the door, as they stood beside the door? And yes, I said beside the door. I once had a guy do that to me because he knew we were taught to stand of to the side of the door, not right in front of it.<br />As far as naming the wounded officers, I've always been fascinated by peoples need to know things that they do not need to know. Maybe the officers didn't want their names to be made public, maybe the MCSO has not contacted their families yet. Who knows? Who cares? I,you, the public doesn't need to know their names. As a matter of fact I don't think any officers name should ever be published anywhere except when they appear in court for the record. I don't even think that they should wear their names on their uniforms. I was actually more concerned with their condition no matter who they were.<br />As far as the police searching peoples homes, I'm torn on this. On one hand I support the Constitution and the right of people to remain secure in their homes etc., but on the other hand we are looking for a man that shot two people and might be hiding out and holding someone hostage in their own home. So I don't know, I'm not sure. I think my answer might be this. If they know on the door and ASK to search the home, without a weapon being pointed at the homeowner (Boston), I might be OK with it. If the people say no, I think that may raise my alert and I'm going to do it anyway. It's a tough call.<br />Gus, situations like this are very,very fluid. Information comes in as the situation develops. It changes and changes again. I'm not going to rip Nygren for any of this.Big Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185883277690070163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095750659102120237.post-78985648193689924312014-10-17T10:11:52.495-05:002014-10-17T10:11:52.495-05:00Thanks, Dawn.

If a person refuses the search of his home, it would heighten suspicion that the suspect was inside. And, it would be highly possible to infer that perhaps the suspect had family members inside at gunpoint. At that point, the officers would request you to step outside of your house to talk with you and assess the situation. What if the suspect got into your house or basement and you actually were unaware because you were sleeping (it was the middle of the night) or perhaps you work nights and weren't home when the suspect could have entered? I guess I'm curious why you would even want to keep them out of your house at a time like this. The police - and not just MCSD but many agencies - did their job to try to locate this person and to keep others safe from an armed shooter.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127316519204142153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095750659102120237.post-32060996309942446302014-10-17T07:12:37.951-05:002014-10-17T07:12:37.951-05:00Secreted somewhere in the area; it's called hi...Secreted somewhere in the area; it's called hiding! And, you're always asking where Nygren is; right there on TV in the area of concern. I doubt local channels would go to Wisconsin or Florida to get his responses, don't you? Glad the two deputies will recover, tho. Jim Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408963826897360931noreply@blogger.com
