If they KNOW an armed criminal is in the building then by all means capture them.

This killing of Briana Taylor was on a no knock warrant and the criminal they wanted to arrest was already in custody. I do not blame the police but it is better to err on the side of safety.

However I do believe in shooting of fleeing criminals.

I have read of too many cases where the police had the wrong address and killed an innocent person, by accident. Again mistakes can happen. Err on the safe side.

Many of us in The Villages are armed and if someone pounds on our door to break in they will risk being shot. My understanding is we could be charged with a crime even if we felt our lives were threatened if an officer was hurt.

A lot of the no knock warrants are to prevent destruction of evidence like drugs which I understand. But the risk of losing evidence is better than killing innocent people at the wrong address which has happened too often. Again I am not blaming the police who are following procedure but the procedure needs to be modified.
