Anybody can do this. Even criminals looking to make a score and impersonate cops do so.


Yep. Makes a lot more sense to do a car stop. The number of people in the car is obvious and the officers have everyone in one spot.

Laurens County Sheriff Bill Harrell has not released any names of the deputies involved, nor has he granted any interviews about the case that's gaining national attention.

Shook released some findings on the case last week alleging:

Sixteen shell casings were found inside the Hooks home and one outside -- indicating that at least one shot was fired before deputies entered the home.
Shook claims that one officer who took part in the raid posted on social media that "his critics are 'idiots,' and that he is not bothered at all by this event."


Just wanted to include this in the discussion.

That makes to much sense. Instead let's charge into a dark house in the middle of the night when visibility is low. These cops freaking think they are navy seals.

Why in the world if they did think he was a drug dealer couldn't they wait to 8am to bust in when they can actually see what's going on. Or follow the guy and see if he actually deals drugs.

It is sad that this is allowed in this Country. The whole swat mentality of police officers needs to change and only be reserved for violent criminals.

Then you may have a dangerous car chase that can hurt many other innocent people. It's a catch 22 here.

I don't like no knock warrants either. They are very dangerous for the officers and for the occupants. I think they should be reserved for very dangerous criminals that are a threat to the public.
