Once upon a time long long ago I new this young man.
He wanted to be a cop. He wanted to be a cop and do no knock raids. That would be fun and exciting he said.
Then I asked him a simple question.
What are you going to do when the no knock is against somebody like you ol’ man rather then some dumb dink immigrant that is unarmed?
A week later he wanted to be a fireman.
You see his Ol’ man is a real shooting son of a bitch with no reservations about machine gunning the whole side of the house from the inside out from corner to corner to stop a no knock.
When some event like that happens no knock raids will stop. Not until then.
I agree with your thoughts here. Sadly, whenever I think some big event will wake up the government, I think of that block of homes they burned down because they had a radical group in the middle.
Made me smile. Not someone I'd really want to hang out with, but I'm sure glad he exists.
