Well my best friend was killed in the line of duty after they knocked and announced themselves first, giving the guy time to get a gun and set himself up behind cover. He then shot my friend in the head after he used the ram to bash the door in.
So neither one is safer than the other.
If they had done no knock, my friend would likely still be alive.
Why are those the only 2 options?
Just 7% of SWAT raids are for hostage, barricade, or active shooter scenarios.

Damn! 3 in Louisiana. By the way No-Knock warrants are VERY rarely granted in this state and that is why I often remind posters here to pay attention to where you live.

I'm surprised to see one from 2008. I thought Baton Rouge stopped doing that after Melancon was killed.
Of course it was a college apartment, they're not expecting resistance.

Title: Burbank Commons Apartment
Type: Raid on an innocent suspect.
State: LA
Description: Eyewitnesses claim that SWAT officers raided an apartment in Baton Rouge, Louisiana looking for marijuana. At least one person said that he witnessed an officer throw a flash grenade over a balcony and several witnesses were distressed by the noise. While the Baton Rouge Police Department declined to comment on the raid, the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's office did confirm that they assisted in the action. No drugs were found and no arrests were made. Source: J.J. Alcantara, "Police officers raid Burbank Commons apartment," LSU Daily Reveill

That's just the weekly "shut down the party at midnight" call over there.

Title: The White Plume Hemp Raids
Type: Other examples of paramilitary police excess.
State: SD
Description: In August 2000, police in flak jackets and armed with assault weapons bring a convoy of trucks, planes, and helicopters to raid a hemp farm on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The White Plume tiospaye, a member of the Oglala Sioux tribe, was growing hemp as a cash crop on the theory that the reservation is a sovereign nation, and that hemp is legal for import in the United States (it's illegal to grow). Federal drug police disagree, and sent an armed paramilitary unit to destroy the family's 35,000 plants. Federal agents would repeat the raid the next year. The White Plume family would never face criminal charges for attempting to grow the crop. Sources: Larua M. Dellinger, "Hemp Raid Stuns Family," Lakota Nation Journal, September 4, 2000. Heidi Bell Gease, "Manderson area family harvests hemp crop," Rapid City Journal, August 2, 2002. John Bonne, "Sioux fight Feds, this time over hemp," MSNBC, December 30, 2003.

There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.
Police have become a military force. You are the enemy.

The enemy portion or the military portion?

Man sneaks into home and gets killed...homeowner is charged with capital murder...if the guy wasn't a cop he wouldn't have been charged...corect?
Why is it that if a cop shoots and kills an innocent man they aren't charged with murder?

Apparently that is the law in Texas. I live in Louisiana so I am not terribly familiar with Texas law.

That is not an accurate statement. I am no fan of No-Knock warrants, by the way.

I was always under the impression "no-knock" warrants just meant the front door gets kicked in and the suspects are caught off guard. Why the hell would a SWAT team member be sneaking into a suspected drug dealers house like some ninja?
Posted on 6/25/14 at 12:07 pm to NYNolaguy1
I would love to know what the evidence was that prompted the judge to issue the no knock warrant
Charging him with capital murder when they woke him up by going through his window is terrible. How is he supposed to be intending to kill someone when he is asleep and startled by a stranger coming through the window?
