Good news for a citizen who defended his home from these goons who happened to wear badges. No-knock raids are never acceptable in a free society, as the lives of citizens are no less important than the lives of policemen. To illustrate how much damage has been wrought, criminals have learned how to play the game; home invaders now routinely shout "Police!" as they kick down their victims' doors.

Come to think of it, wouldn't a "no knock" raid be against the fourth amendment?

In subsequent interviews with investigators, the raid team members were also unable to provide a consensus of what happened as they broke the door down. Some said at least one officer yelled "police" as they entered the house, while others said they couldn't remember what -- if anything -- was spoken in the tense moments before the raid.
Did you catch that part of the story. I'm shocked that ALL of the cops didn't try to CYA and lie. It seems as if only one or two of them were dishonest. Pretty low ratio for JBTs, I say give them a medal for honesty.
