But, and for the sake of context, of the 450 no-knock raids conducted in New York City over a ten year period, 10% were to the wrong address. That's forty-five households a month with their doors busted in and their security violated for no reason and no recourse for repair or redress. NYPD, as a group, were getting too sloppy. Something had to be done.
Unfortunately, a race-hustling demagogue like di Blasio is the last guy I'd want doing that job.
I would worry about no-knock raids.
Of course I’m out in the sticks, and my animals would alert me... but what if a cop busted through my door unannounced? I keep a .357 in the magazine holder of my recliner. I’m grabbing it a shooting anything that busts through my door.
Then what happens to me? If I am not killed by the rest of the cops coming in, I’m headed to deathrow for killing a cop.
