I have no doubt the guy was a criminal but realistically did they really think he was not gonna shoot if they busted in his door? Locally, we had a group of gang members who were going to houses in the innercity they were the police and busting down doors only beat and Rob those on the inside.
The streets aren't any safer?
Maybe they did and that's why they got a no knock warrant?
Let me take a wild guess, the police didn’t have to murder an unarmed woman to put him in prison the second time around?
Breaking down a door with a battering ram at midnight and screaming into people’s homes doesn’t count as knocking. I would be disappointed in any man that didn’t mag dump in that situation.
Ya he didn't shoot at the cops the second time so no one died.
I'm not interested in your stupid baseless BLM conspiracy theories. An investigation revealed they did knock and announce themselves.
The investigation that involved a lack of body camera footage? That one right?
Yawn.
It’s amazing that when you don’t “knock” with a battering ram at 12 am and scream in someone’s home you don’t get shot at.
I'm simply not buying your BLM conspiracy theory that they didn't knock and announce themselves.
Read the Wikipedia page about the incident. Not as cut and dried as you think it is.
@UnionStrong did you know the police department said none of the three cops involved in the shooting had body cameras because they were plainsclothed detectives but pictures taken of them at the incident showed one with a body camera and another wearing the camera mount? That one officer fired indiscriminately through an opaque window 12 times? That a neighboring apartment had 6 bullets fired into it(they weren't involved), endangering children? That 5 witnesses never heard the police announce themselves but another heard the word police announced once. That the no knock warrant was based on the claim that packages suspected by the Post Office went to that apartment but the Post Office testified they had never cooperated with the Police on that investigation? That one of the officers was charged with lying to obtain that warrant and witness testified that the judge who signed off on the warrant was chosen because she wouldn't look at it too closely? There were all kinds of interesting facts that resulted in her family getting a $12 million settlement. And she was a medical worker. The above is why I was saying police have to be held accountable for mistakes. For all I know her boyfriend was a drug dealer although even though he shot one of the cops in the leg(charges dismissed)no drugs were found in the apartment. I just don't want to see innocent bystanders harmed when cops make mistakes or break the law. Saying it doesn't matter if neighbors get caught in the cross fire, kill'em all, etc means very little to the people actually caught in the cross fire.
I don’t care. TLDR.
Oh gee I guess the Wikipedia page left that out lol.
Leftist propaganda
