re: #273 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

“Armed” is a tautology with cops in this country. We don’t know if they were warantless or not, they might have had one that they decided not to use.

I think it’s excessive too, but that’s just from an efficiency perspective. He said they were totally polite and left with the impression that they considered this completely checked out and he had nothing to worry about.

Well, sure, but I really don’t want to micromanage the reactions of every police department. The cops behaved perfectly decently while they were there, and that’s actually nice to see. They didn’t extend the search, they didn’t even wake his son up.

I know. It’s just that combo of “company” and “police” that makes me antsy.
