West Midlands Police have released some body-worn camera footage of the moment when armed drug dealers opened their front door seconds before armed police were about to smash it in.
Officers had cordoned the residential area off after receiving some intelligence that the address’s occupants were armed.
As you will see in the video below, that intelligence turned out to be right.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?
Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.
We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.
How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

The sentences were, as usual, derisory. Just under 10 years for one and 7 for the other for possessing firearms, ammunition making equipment, 50 pot plants and half a kg of cocaine is just pathetic. The weapons had live rounds in it and another was capable of fully automatic firing.
These two were armed and dangerous and clearly making their living form the drugs trade. They should have got 10 years for the firearms, 10 years for the coke and 5 years for the pot, a total of 25 years to be served consecutively. This should mean that they would be released after 25 years, assuming they behaved, longer if not.
If they were to get caught drug dealing again, the minimum sentence would be 50 years. Society would be safe from people like this.
