I'm simply saying bW that a police force tasked to provide support of a warrant acts under the information and circumstances provided, you can't assume anything and therefore you prepare for the worst.

You questioned their use of force as inappropriate based on what they found...How could they know they would only be entering a compound where a single firearm license would be missing? or that a few of staffwere not licensed to provde security? The actions and methods were premised on a warrant issued for general search of property for illegal activities and quite possiby involving drugs...your criticism of their level of force is based on evidence after the fact.

As such your criticism of level of force used makes no sense, hence non sequitur... the argument is fallacious because there is a disconnection between the premise and the conclusion.

Now if you want to argue that the police force knew ahead of time it was a BS raid thats another matter...

Your interpretation of my comments are non substantificatur. I am not coming to any conclusions only suggesting that an investigation is appropriate to determine what conclusions should be made.
There are allegations from both sides that are unsubstantiated by any facts at this time.
PS: maybe we should limit our use of Latin so as others like Elbert and Jesse, just to name two, can better understand our comments.

bywarren,

Trying not to wallow in my ignorance I did a google search and took a trip to dictionary.com and failed to turn up "non substantificatur"

please enlighten me.

Latin for Not substantiated.

thanks

I knew that.

And Bears use of "non sequitur" is Latin for an argument in which its conclusion does not follow from its premises.
And I knew you knew it Ernie. That is why I did not include you with Elbert and Jesse.
And my apologies to Elbert and Jesse if you intellectus haec verba.

Gracisios, thats latun for ..................... something.

I know you meant gratias, Latin for thank you. We are off subject here, blame it on Bear he started it, but it is interesting that Latin America is so named because the languages spoken are derived form Latin.
Anyway, to get back on track, I hope there is more reporting on the outcome of this. It seems like in too many cases an incident is reported and then there is no follow up reporting on the outcome. I confess to not watching all of the news in Belize, but I don't recall seeing any follow up reporting on incidences like the boat accidents involving swimming tourists or the tourists swept to sea while snorkeling just to mention two. If I did miss this, let me know.

If you ever visit San Pedro, try to stop at Sailway, they have excellent Coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino. And then just ask them where they get the coffee from.
