A 19-year-old man killed in a shootout with Las Vegas police SWAT officers as they burst into an apartment was not the suspect in a murder investigation that prompted the raid, a department official said.

Oops.

Lawsuit coming.

It might have been COVID.

Ooops is right!

“Another senseless drug-related death!”

No knock raids should be illegal.

Someday.... Joe Q. Citizen will say enough is enough with the SWAT BS. If you want the perp bad enough, put a little legwork into nabbing him/her going about their daily routine.

“No knock raids should be illegal.”

maybe ‘almost’ illegal.
Can envision a scenario where they might be appropriate.

[wastedyears]

How many on here will believe this to be a justified shoot?

[eyeamok]

FIRST DEGREE MURDER with Special Circumstances of A Home Invasion Robbery as the FELONY pretense.

Every JUDGE in the Country should be subjected to NO KNOCK ARMED RAIDS on a Regular Basis

[smalltownslick]

Why are you making jokes about such a horrible thing???

[BobL]

Hopefully they apologized to him.

A strike: maybe ‘almost’ illegal.

Problem is with "almost" is they keep on finding reasons to expand the conditions in which it is used.

It is the nature of things to expand until they run up against something that pushes back.

And people, especially nice polite civilized people do not tend to push back. "It is just a little thing, a trifle, hardly an inconvenience and you are just being unreasonable and paranoid," they say.

143 1/2, give or take a few?

Get back with me when you get the total numbers.

Thanks

[wastedyears]

Is this worth a ping?

[A strike]

Agreed.

Time for SWAT team leaders, DAs, and those on-site participants, & their families have first-hand experience with being SWATTED...

[DesertRhino]

He was a thug, caw it was cops and shot 18 rounds at them. More air for me to breathe.

I hope not many.....Ruby Ridge and the Branch Covidians....the fibbers could have had both those men by simply waiting until they went to town....

I guess that is when I realized that the good guys weren't always so good.
