And your thought is based on how much street time or experience. On one part, I agree about the over use of no knock warrants. However, on the subject of SWAT teams, I don’t. Serving warrants, either arrest or search, in some situations is not just dangerous, it can be deadly to those doing it especially of they are in an inferior position to the alleged perps. Do away with these specialized units and more than one copper will opt for clocking out standing than the potential of lying in an ER.“

It’s a wonder how this nation survived almost 200 years without SWAT teams.

I can see both sides of the SWAT team and no knock issue.

But the bottom line is this—we are about to see a replay of the Ferguson Effect, where the cops simply refuse to enter risky situations in a timely manner when they know the bosses don’t have their back.

The donut and coffee shops should do a booming business.

(Every academic expert denies the Ferguson Effect exists—but it is as real as the sun rising in the morning and the sun setting in the evening.)
