This is almost as good when someone on here argued with me that "Terroristic Threats" were the equivalent of INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM.

Bullpoo on all accounts!!!
Most Police departments use a risk assessment form for serving warrants and all those that do have a certain "Level of Threat" protocol that is to be followed.
Some threats are served by a single officer, some are served by multiple officers and some are served by a CERT/ SWAT TEAM depending on the circumstances.
It's for the protection of the officers and the communities.

@jamie76 you are totally drating right, but unfortunately noone is proactive enough to do anything about it, which would also just be repeating history..
