But even so, you miss the point entirely.

Well... we will see.

Cops have badges. They clearly state that they are the police.

Well... not in FLORIDA.

Outrage as police shoot and kill the wrong man in hunt for attempted murder suspect....

"An innocent man was shot dead by police after deputies mistook him for an attempted murder suspect. Lake County, Florida officers showed up at the Blueberry Hill apartment of Andrew Scott at around 1.30am on Sunday Roused from his bed in the middle of the night by an unknown presence at his property, Andrew Scott answered the door holding a gun. Officers had not announced who they were because they did not want the man they thought was inside, Jonathan Brown, to escape."

Now... what were you saying ?

Definitely outrageous.

And happening too often, Somehow it must be changed...no-knock should be outlawed.

But that said you are statistically much more likely to be killed by some slimeball you pissed off than by a cop in the middle of the night no-knock.

o the larger point is:

You can not prevent some idiot no-knock, but you most certainly can learn to keep your mouth shut in public so as to avoid the bad guy who is walking around with a chip on his shoulder just looking for someone to “dis” him so he can cut or shoot him.

There are a thousand of them for every bad or stupid cop.
