No knock raids have no place in this scenario, IMO


My best friend was killed in the line of duty because they knocked first, giving the fricking dealer time to arm and position himself.

that doesnt make no-knocks ok, as unfortunate as it is. perhaps the answer is waiting until they leave the house for minor offenses like this $50 unsubstantiated drug deal that was reported.

That's terrible. Slightly more terrible than a 1 year old getting a flashbang to the face.

I don't know if one justifies the other.

Threads like these always expose who doesn't know frick about due process and law, such as the OP and the author of that horribly written article. You must offer a response to a complaint that answers to as many grounds as possible. It's Defense 101. Such obvious click bait to the uneducated and easily influenced.

I am sorry to hear that. I hope the department got some training. Your best friend should have never been in that position.

What makes jobs in the military and law enforcement honorable and worthy of our respect is that they defend all of our God given rights with their lives if necessary, recognizing a noble greater good. Take away those rights but retaining their authority no longer makes what they do a sacrifice, instead turning them into tyrants. Unfortunately your friend lost his life but he did so hoping to make the world a better place. Respect his decision despite the personal cost to you

I mean that sucks and all, but it might have been avoided had better research been done. Why would you bust into an armed dealer's house? Why not catch him leaving the grocery or checking his mail?

The whole way they go about it is bass awkwards. Being hyper aggressive isn't always the best answer. Being smarter is
