With only reading the media report of the dogs shot and only the word of a multiple time felon, I can’t say what prompted the police to get a no-knock warrant.
I will again say that I have changed my opinion on no-knocks. I believe the police should be taking more risk in order that innocent people, dogs, cats, or anything else that lives and breaths does not get injured or killed. And if they do, the police should be held liable.
