“Plainclothes, no-knock warrant...”

Anybody can yell: “Police. This is a raid.” or whatever is is they say. I know if people who didn’t look like cops came busting in without a knock, I, and a few of them, would also be dead. This is a practice that could likely have no other outcome. What, are you supposed to wait and see if it is really cops? F that! And even the real cops get the wrong house quite often it seems. Why not just stake out and wait for someone to come out? No sympathy for drug dealers, but the no-knock raid seems to have more errors than successes. Then there is the hilarious practical joke known as “SWATTing”. This is nothing to play with.

Knock first with uniformed backup likely would’ve worked just fine. Somebody was not thinking, in a hurry, or both.

Too many young folks, who could not measure up to a SEAL TEAM, join the force play at war. These no-knock, as well as the surround-the-school teams, allow all the puddy-like, swatted-up, out-of-shapers to pretend to be warriors.

The price is the death of citizens.
