    Why not just wait for dirtbags like this to leave their house and pick them up during a traffic stop instead? Get them out of their prepared area.

    Maybe this isn’t practical, or maybe it’s not usually a critical warrant demanding that kind of manpower outlay? Just curious what the LEO’s here have to say about it.

    There are pros and cons to both.

    Trying to get them at the house can result in a barricade situation like this, but also can be pretty easily contained.

    But trying to grab him in a car can bring up a whole lot of issues if things go south and you are out in public. Even economy cars can be hard to stop sometimes if the driver doesn't care about damaging it. If the suspect gets away from your pre planned stop location, then you have no idea where the situation might end up at. Popular restaurant at dinner time? Local carnival full of families?

    No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say "What is that, a 3 MOA group?"

    Story is lacking details.

    So they wait in an attempt to catch him on Main Street and in the waiting he decides to kill his wife and tomorrow the newspaper says "Police had evidence man posed risk to wife but did NOTHING."

    Not saying you are wrong, for example they "could" have done that in Waco with Koresh, but Reno specifically wanted the daylight raid for the news cameras so they could put scary guns on the table in front of the scary church people.

    But this one sounds like it could have been more imminent and made "wait and see" less of an option. With police work, despite the operational plan, you don't really know what is going to happen until it happens. It's easy to fall victim to established patterns and expect and certain level of compliance and when that doesn't happen most guys really aren't fully prepared for it.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Picking the dude up in town is what the Custer County South Dakota sherif did with the leader of the Mormon compound (Warren Jeffs brother I think). Dude had a warrant, and rather than storm their cult compound they just picked him up in town.

    Rumor is the Federal turds were butt hurt about it. Screw them.
