If the police made that rule, then ALL drug houses would find it beneficial to use infants as human shields. More infants would likely be harmed because more would be around the dangerous, violent drug houses.

There is no need to raid drug houses. Arrest the perps on the street, obtain search warrents that require knocking and letting the people know you are cops(you know, the constitutionally approved method), go into the house, either find material or not as the case may be. Swat teams need to be outlawed. There is no way to justify this killing, and no way to justify swat type raids. We don't need paramilitary police,we are not a tyrannical type government(or we are not supposed to be).

If the failed drug war is to be perpetuated, I agree with your strategy. Also, I would like for the sane among us to not have to pay for the failed drug war. The voters who support it should pay for their share of it with a monthly bill. Additionally, all unconstitutional drug war legislation must be immediately rescinded and the Constitution must be restored. If those things are done, I would complain a lot less about the failed war on some drugs.
