The Left lies all the time.
There should be no raids for anything other than a life in imminent danger.
These raids are murdering honest citizens over minor harmless crimes.
Which will conveniently become damaged or destroyed, or the data on them will be lost or misplaced.
No knock raids are disgusting and should be illegal under the Constitution.
I think these No Knock Armed SWAT Raids should be done on JUDGES and ELECTED OFFICIALS on a Monthly Basis for practice
There’s a potential problem even when law enforcement announces its presence.
I am practically deaf in my right ear. Because of inner-ear problems I sleep on the side with my better ear. An announcement at my front door might not be audible to me in my bedroom with the door closed, as it customarily is. My wife would hear, but not everyone has someone to serve that function.
No-knock raids in my mind violate the spirit if not the letter of the Fourth Amendment. They were originally “justified” to prevent destruction of evidence in drug cases IIRC; that is to say, they prioritized expediency over liberty. In recent times we have seen them used as much to terrorize civilians as to obtain evidence. They’re dangerous both to civilians and to law enforcement. There have also been instances of raids mounted at incorrect addresses.
Shouting one announcement a tenth of a second before knocking down a door and 10 Soldiers bursting in is no announcement.
If I picture myself in that situation, I would likely be killed as I would have no reason to expect it and reaction time to process the muffled brief announcement is too low vs the immediate threat of people bursting in with guns. Add to that, these militarized police love to do these sort of knock raids in the very early morning when one is likely asleep. How is a person who is asleep supposed to hear such an inappropriate announcement vs the noise of the door breaking? My bedroom is not near the doors of my house and would not hear any such announcement. End result, I would be killed for no reason.
First, I don’t believe (without audio/video proof) that SWAT didn’t fire first and did announce they were police. Just don’t believe it. Stick together, cover your team’s back - hold the line.....stronger than the law, period. Adding insult to injury, charging the resident with murder when the girlfriend had a SWAT bullet(s) in her is just ludicrous - I don’t care what the law says.
The case has gotten virtually no national publicity because it completely contradicts the Rittenhouse narrative.
The FBI does things the old-fashioned way - no body cameras, no recordings of interviews - so they can lie. Last I heard they were “studying” body cameras.
