(poster before me suggests rubber bullets in this case.) the guy moves forward & is shot & killed. i feel bad anytime somebody's killed, but without knowing the true intentions of this poor man, it will continue to happen. cops can't read minds & be social workers. maybe this idea of rubber bullets& the like can be used in cases like this.
someone is making these policies, & they need to address these types of situations. it's why briana taylor's cases was bunguled. what exactly is a 'no-knock' warrant? isn't a warrant delivered in person, so the constable can put the document in your hand, therefore confirming delivery? help me figure this out  |
A no knock warrant is just that. You aren’t required to knock before entering the premises. However, in this case, even though they had a no knock warrant, they did knock and identified themselves. There were witnesses to that effect.
