re: another no-knock warrant gone bad

I feel bad for the guy who killed the officer, I would shoot someone if they broke in like that too

Yup. Will the NRA publicly support this guy? Or will they be silent?

Hey I have an idea. If you're concerned about guns in his house, disable his car in the middle of the night (e.g., put on a Denver boot) then wait for him to leave the house and detain him outside, then search the house. I guess that's not as much fun as playing war.

You putting the fault on everyone except the cops.

No i'm not. The cops mishandled it big time. A phone call to ask him to come out of the house could have easily avoided this tragedy.

I agree 100% that this was an unnecessary use of force by the police. Killing a cop wasn't necessary and it will not end well for the man who is now in jail. even if he beats the State level charges, the Feds will charge him with Felon in possession of a firearm.

According to Magee’s attorney, Dick Deguerin, four weapons were recovered by police; 3 legally owned by Magee, one legally owned by Magee’s mother

2.) According to the AP, “Magee has been arrested twice for driving while intoxicated and twice for possession of marijuana.” The Bryan-College Station Eagle writes that Magee “has a felony and misdemeanor drug conviction.” According to Texas law, a resident with a felony arrest may own a weapon IF 5 years have elapsed since the felony conviction or end of parole. The weapon must be kept at the individuals home. None of the sources make it clear if this statute applies to Magee.

so I guess you're either jumping to conclusions or you know more about the situation than these sources do

so its cool if someone just kicks in your door? so I can go buy some cool little hybrid police camo and some combat boots. Then ride over to your house and toss some fire crackers outside your window and then kick down your door. I then race in with a gun pointed at your head and you aren't going to shoot because I could be the cops.

you're god damn right. if someone breaks into your house, they do not get any benefit of the doubt. you don't pause for a second and ponder if he's a cop, you do what you feel is necessary to protect your family

this

if someone is kicking down my door I'm not going to hangout and ask questions while they do it. Im getting in a defensive spot or I'm popping out of a window and flanking them.

For weed. Weed.

Imagine this shite going down during prohibition. Oh well it was warranted because this man had a six pack of Budweiser in his fridge.

Prolly being paid by marijuana lobbyists.

I may be off base here, but I think no knocks are pretty common for drug operations because they fear the evidence will be disposed of. Still a bad idea though.

Kind of hard to flush a grow operation down the toilet.

The DA that charged him w/ capital murder and will go after the DP needs to be disbarred as well.

Our law authorities are over reaching their duties more and more every day.
