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. Last edited by John41; 09-27-2020 at 05:49 PM. |

I have friends that are black, asian, indian (muslim and Islamic), European.... My heart ached for my colleagues who were from India after 911. They looked the same as the terrorists, so as they traveled people were afraid of them and didn't want to be on the same flight as them. Yet I knew they were wonderful peaceful people. (Sound familiar?) |

I am very pro law enforcement but I have never supported no-knock warrants. They are dangerous for the police and the occupants of the domicile being raided. There have been too many incidents of the wrong home being raided resulting in innocent people being killed. A lot of no-knock warrants are on drug houses or the homes of drug dealers. Police use under cover officers or informants to purchase drugs from the dealer to establish the fact illegal drug selling is occurring. The excuse for the no-knock raid is to keep the dealers from disposing of drugs on the premises in an announced raid. They already have the drugs that they purchased from the dealer for evidence in a trial for drug dealing so any found in the premises won't affect the fact they were selling drugs. My opinion on no-knock raids is that it is a flashy, shock and awe dog and pony show for the media and the politicians to beat their chests claiming how much the support law and order. A good example is the raid on the Branch Davidians compound to arrest David Koresh. It was widely know that Koresh spent time in Waco, TX conducting business and the police could have arrested him at any time on a city street with no problem. The authorities wanted a media spectacle so they conducted a raid that resulted in the deaths of many misguided innocent people, including small children. Too many police departments have developed a militaristic mind set when dealing with crime and the tragedies caused by the no-knock raids only create a distrust of the police.

Chuck and Shack are good analysts because they say it like it is, not what people want tp hear.

Also as a strict constructionist I believe no knock warrants violate the 4th amendment to the Constitution. Last edited by John41; 09-28-2020 at 11:56 AM. |

The black community are basically not registering what actually happened in this case. They have their fingers in their ears and shouting la, la, la, la, la, la, la when it is pointed out to them that the police were fired on first. It is either that or they are just ignorant.

For example, if someone calls out BLM, that person must either be a racist (if white) or an Uncle Tom (if black). BLM leadership preaches it and the liberal media, looking for ratings or clicks blow it up to "real news" when in fact it is not. A number of black people have come out rejecting the hyperbole and claims of the two instigator groups (BLM and media), and what do they get for it? Criticized and name-calling. Go back almost 30 years ago and Rodney King had it right - "Can we all just get along? " All these years later and it feels worse, not better. |

The officers were following procedure and are not at fault but no knock warrants need to be abolished. If someone can’t recognize the difference between this incident and the Floyd case where an armed thug with a criminal record, high on meth whose death was his own fault, then they are in la la land. No knock warrants could someday be used against political opponents in the not too distant future as some justices are making up their own law instead of following the constitution. The founding father recognized the importance of unreasonable search and seizure based on history. Last edited by John41; 09-28-2020 at 03:41 PM. |

The officers may have obtained a no-knock warrant but they both knocked and announced themselves, apparently twice. Officers did knock before Breonna Taylor shooting, investigation finds | FOX 2
