A No-Knock raid over pot plants? Isn't this a bit excessive? Not surprised it ended in tragedy. They really need to re-think the whole No-Knock raid thing.
One of the arguments for no knock raids is to keep drug suspects from flushing the evidence down the toilet while the police are knocking. I would like to know what brand of toilet the cops think can flush a dozen six foot pot plants while a warrant is being peacefully served.
Things like this are why I think I'll vote for Ohio's pending marijuana legalization. I don't smoke pot, never have and think it is a stupid thing to do. But on the other hand cops knocking down doors and tossing around concussive grenades like confetti is a far greater threat to me than a neighbor with a couple plants and a grow light.
