These are prime examples of our overly militarized police forces running rough shod over citizens rights.
No knock warrants with door busting should be reserved for ONLY for people that are known to be violent or thought to be holding hostages.
The warrant in the story was to search for evidence. This means that they did not even have enough on him to charge him with a crime. So, this man was killed over a "Fishing" expedition. Very sad indeed.
We must speak out against the continuing use of No Knock Warrants.
Most people that are law abiding and even the ones that may smoke a little weed do not think that the police are going to crash their door in. They think that the police have bigger fish to fry. So, when the police do come busting in, they think they are the victims of a home invasion.
Unfortunately, with many states confiscation laws, police agencies use small amounts of weed to justify taking everything a person owns including their cars and house. They then sell this and buy even better Toys to conduct their next raid with. The police should not be able to base their raids on financial gain.
