No-knocks should be banned except for hostage-type situations.

That said, the raid on Taylor’s home was not conducted as a no-knock, apparently. They knocked and announced, the boyfriend opened fire when the police breached, and we know the rest.

While I agree that no-knocks should be banned, I also know that governor black face is solving a different issue than the one he cites. Just like most politicians.

I disagree with no knock needing to be banned. Sometimes it is necessary. And know for a fact it is not common. I worked as a dispatcher for a couple years and in all that time I believe my department did less than 6. It’s rare, but when they use it there is very, very good reason.

“No-knocks should be banned except for hostage-type situations.”

As I recall, they were introduced to deny residents the time needed to flush drugs down the toilet. If you can surround a residence, there’s no need for a no-knock just to arrest somebody.

If you have a hostage situation, you don’t need a warrant, do you?
