The Houston Police Department has released the inventory of items seized during the execution of the no-knock raid where 59-year-old Dennis Tuttle and his wife, 58-year-old Rhogena Nicholas were shot and killed. The raid occurred on January 28, 2019.
The married couple of 20 years died in a gun battle with police where four officers were wounded, and one was injured while taking cover.
The couple had no criminal records. They had occupied the house for 20 years. Rhogena was as a supporter of President Trump. Dennis was a Navy veteran.

Its what probation and parole services use
Not really.
There wasnt real use for SWAT teams on any regular basis, so, the departments started using them for serving arrest warrants. Doesnt matter what for. If you have a outstanding warrant for delinquent parking tickets you are likely to have a SWAT team come to your door to arrest you.
I read it last year the majority of arrest warrants in most major cities are served by the SWAT unit.
They’d be disappointed with my four large bags of ‘green leafy’ substance when they discover it’s only catnip.
That's exactly how Ruby Ridge started.
