According to the folks at Cato, since the early 1980s, there have been 40 bystanders killed in no-knock raids. 40 in 30 years. There isn't a rash of police going around randomly shooting innocent people as the marxist media portrays. Do mistakes happen? Yes. Are some police corrupt? Yes. Is there a tendency to use no-knocks where they shouldn't? Yes. These are problems that need to be corrected. However, correcting them by claiming that we are part of a police state and attacking the members of the military and the police who are trying to do nothing more than protect and defend the Constitution is not the answer.

Why do you think liberals have consistently attacked both the police and the military for so long? Why? Do you think someone is different because they only attack the police (while claiming to hold respect for the military)? Many of the people who serve as police officers also served as members of the military. They are the same people.

The problem is with the politicians, over-criminalization, and media spin. We fix the problems there, not by attacking people who are just trying to do a job and genuinely want to defend the Constitution.

There are a group of people here (and elsewhere on the web) who constantly focus only on the negative stories related to the police. The media virtually never covers the good stories. Ever. There is a reason behind this. It's not coincidental. It's by design.

40 killed in 30 years. Not bad unless you happen to be one of the 40.

Bullshit! Here is what the Cato Institute says about botched no-knock raids.

Botched Paramilitary Police Raids: An Epidemic of "Isolated Incidents"

Apparently you have no more use for the truth than you do for the rule of law. Not surprising.

Uh, no the cops ARE the problem. If they refuse to follow these laws then this shit wouldn’t happen. I can’t believe you just used the “I was just following orders” line on me. Hell man, you are proving my point!

Define "bystander". Would that definition fit the man in this article?
