re: It gets worse for HPD: no drugs found in system of woman murdered by police

Is there not some type of negotiation that can be made in these situations?

Could the police not call this house or the lady and say, “look, we think you’re hoarding drugs in here. If you just come out peacefully we will be able to work with you on these potential charges depending on what we find.”

Then have strict laws that lessen the criminal charges that these people face if they surrender peacefully.

No knock raids cause the really bad guys to feel desperate. Might as well go to war with these police officers if the alternative is spending a large portion of your life in prison. And it would help the innocent people who get blasted to shite in these things.

What is the policy and goals in these things?

To make sure, whatever the cost, to secure evidence against the people in the home?

I’d understand and even be ok with that if they had concrete evidence of some bad mfers operating a massive operation. Even then, I think it still might be worth it to make contact with them and work on a deal if they were willing to surrender peacefully.

But to do these things to ONE person who MIGHT have drugs? What the hell was their goal here?

Lol... They always shoot the dog

Didn't the police chief come out after this and scold the public for questioning what happened?

The head of the police union said this:

We are sick and tired of having targets on our back,” he says. “We are sick and tired of having dirtbags trying to take our lives when all we’re trying to do is protect this community and protect our families. Enough is enough… If you’re the ones that are out there spreading the rhetoric that police officers are the enemy, just know we’ve all got your number now, we’re going to be keeping track of all of y’all, and we’re going to make sure that we hold you accountable every time you stir the pot on our police officers.”
