Heck. If I’m sitting at home and I hear my front door being broken down, my first thought is going to be “home invasion”. I won’t be thinking “Gee, I wonder if this is a no-knock raid.”

If you're in a black neighborhood where 25% of the population already has a lengthy felony record, maybe you would think differently.

Yes. I’d be MORE inclined to think it was a home invasion.

For what it’s worth, I think the cops acted stupidly, but not feloniously. So the Taylor family deserved a big payday. But the cops should not be charged with any criminal offense.

Here’s what I don’t get. I understand that no-knock raids are sometimes necessary. But for goodness sakes, when the cops hit the door, why not turn on all their car lights and sirens? Let people know the cops coming in!

I stand by my previous statement. If somebody kicks in my front door, I’m going to absolutely assume it’s a home invasion.
