I've heard a bit about “SWATing” and the stuff that can result.Don't know if that's what has happened here.

Until body camera evidence emerges its safe to assume the cops are lying.

No knock warrants are a license to kill. Plainclothes no less. How is ANYBODY supposed to not assume that’s bad guys?

Cant imagine its ever a good idea to bust someones door down with guns out. Its not safe for the cops or the people inside.

Every no-knock should send two roid rage swat tards home in a box. F Them.

I would assume this is an issue both liberals and conservatives could agree on ...which means it will go no where
To: Theoria
The constitution call for an immediate end to no knock warrants.

Her poor family has to deal with that loss.
Not that it should matter, but every photo I see of her, she looks like someone who enjoyed life. That seems to make it a worse crime.
To: Theoria
Behind a paywall. Dumb questions:
Did the police find the “evidence” they were looking for in the course of the raid?
Did the police at least break into the right house? (Half the time it seems the police broke into the wrong address.)

There may, perhaps, be cases where a no-knock warrant is appropriate. The actual number of such entries is far larger than the likely number of appropriate uses of that method.

Check out the killing of a Houston couple by the police in a no-knock raid. Raid was based on false information actually provided by the police who led the raid.

Bonnie and Clyde, Dillinger etc but probably not Capone. That sort of thing.

Police said that although officers had a no-knock warrant, they still knocked several times and announced themselves.Smells like BS ... why would they go to the trouble of getting a no-knock warrant, and then knock?

Conservatives should be leading the charge on this issue as no knock warrants are Unconstitutional and Government overreach! I am still innocent until proven guilty in America. I can tell you personally, if you start pushing in my door then there is lead coming down range!

Very few reasons to go all SWAT on a suspect(s) unless it is a true life or death situation.
