I am of the opinion that:
1) Only the elected Sheriff should have a SWAT team
2) No warrant should EVER be served by plain clothes officers
3) No knock raids should be limited to situations where there is a KNOW threat to life or limb, not the POSSIBILITY of a threat and require the evidence of the situation be presented to a separate judge for approval.
4) Protocol should require lights and sirens for 10 seconds prior to knock on the door.
5) knock on the door should allow a reasonable time to respond - min 1 min
6) Officers on the breach team should be proceeded with a riot / assault shield, not shotgun or pistol
7) only one officer on the breach team should be giving commands.
Had these rules been followed, most likely would have resulted in a different outcome.
Essentially the same story as Cory Maye, who killed a deputy who was the sheriff’s son. It was a no knock raid in the middle of the night at the wrong address. Maye was trying to protect his daughter. He ended up spending years on death row.
He was eventually sentenced to time served and released. I sent some money to his prison account and got back a nice letter from him.

Cops have said they recovered marijuana from the home. They won’t say had much. They have also said the recovered some “white dust.”
Again, they haven’t said how much.
But this was supposedly a big time heroin operations.
If true, should have been enough for an arrest warrant that could have been served away from the home and followed up with a search warrant when there were fewer people in the house.
Reason is certainly not a progressive propaganda outlet, and I’ve never heard them characterized so ignorantly.
Did they confirm if cops wore body cameras? This story indicates they did not.
A bag of flour from the kitchen is ‘white dust’..................
HPD’s story has changed several times since Monday. The whole thing seems weird. And then the outburst from the Union President.
People who knew the deceased are floored. They say it is just not possible.
Break into my house and shoot my beloved dog? God help you.
What’s wrong with this picture?

Well, the first thing wrong is you posting a libertarian smear tactic by Reason.
Or laundry powder, which happened to a guy living in his van down by the river.
why NOT just pick them up when they go to the grocery?
A three car traffic stop with unmarked vehicles? hold ‘em and then execute the warrant
warning...I am NOT a LEO!!
Well you are on Free Republic where few actually read the article
The reason article states that a .357 was recovered after the mayhem, but I can’t see, doing a quick search, that a .357 was recovered. Other articles state that the police asked for the no-knock warrant because the informant saw a 9mm semi, but none of the articles I read said that one was recovered. Was it a .357 or 9mm? Was the informant lying?
Smear? The article has links to police and media sources all over it. You can verify it.
They are Libertarian.
It’s as much a knee-jerk hatred of libertarians as anything, which is peculiar given that FR has its own libertarian forum.
Did the Police ID themselves before Mr Dogkiller opened up with the shotgun?If somebody kicked in my door and fired a shotgun,he’s going to get about 4 .308 rounds in the chest.
Huh? Reason is a far from left wing publication. If anything it is a libertarian publication. Skepticism is wise for anything you read, but you haven't read much of what they publish if you think they are "progressive" or leftist.
