The whole idea of a no knock warrant in circumstances where a hostage is not in danger is blatently wrong, but we can't sort that out on the street.
I will shoot first and ask questions later at anyone kicking in my door.
There have been too many Home Invasion Roberies by people with balistic vests and Raid Jackets.
I stay loaded with ammo that will penetrate a Cat III vest.
I have commited no significant crimes lately, and can have no expectation that the people kicking in my door might be police with a no knock warrant.
It was grabbing the MP-5 that was imbecilic.
Either you maintain seperation and shoot back, or surrender and hope to be allowed to live. Grabbing at their weapons is the stupidest possible thing he could have done.

It and tact squads should be reserved for only the most serious of circumstances.

The gang bangers here use that M.O. to do home invasions.

IF TRUE it was imbecilic. If there was an accidental discharge we will never know it unless the perp had a video camera running and managed to keep the tape.
Care to elaborate ? I'm wondering if you've got a 30-06 AP revolver or something interesting like that.
