#9 Only 7 percent of all SWAT deployments are for “hostage, barricade or active-shooter scenarios”. - The only reason a SWAT team and/or no-Knock warrant should be used for.
Yeah, but if they don’t do no-knock entries in the middle of the night the suspects might manage to flush the evidence down the toilet and the raid would be for nought. And then they wouldn’t get to pursue civil asset forfeiture against the house and anything valuable they might find in it. And the cops wouldn’t get to play at being G.I. Joe with body armour, M16s, and armored cars nearly as often.
That was the very and ONLY reason the PTB * promised* the American people they would be used for.
That lie should never have been believed.
