Guy, while you say the officers took no joy in smashing the doors, is there an explanation of why they would ( in a couple of cases) smash unlocked doors (as claimed by some HR residents)?
Is there an explanation why they would break into an empty house under renovation? Im also curious, not having any knowledge of such matters and in the several cases where this was possible, why they would not break a small side window and reach in to unlock the doors, which would be in the order of a hundred dollars damage as opposed to 1000 or more?
why traipse through the house opening closets and drawers?
If there was a theoretical threat of looting, surely over a thousand smashed doors leaving houses completely open would leave houses more vulnerable to looting?
As others, I am curious as to why MSM is not covering this as it absolutely is a story, when you have millions of dollars of damage to over a 1000 homes caused- with reason or without- by a government agency. Its not as if theyre avoiding follow up on the issue. I cannot recall any of the major tv networks reporting anything on this aspect of the situation, and I am a fairly regular watcher and listener to news reports
Now there's a deadline for claims.
