I am so glad you know all the intricacies of police work. With the big military surplus items the police forces are getting these days in the US it would take 5 minutes to see how many people were in the house using thermal imaging.

Ho many burglars do you know that just come right through the front door? Do you think if they would have knocked on the front door and announced they were police with a search warrant things would have went a little better? I do. Coming through a window unannounced makes you look like a thief and ends up getting people shot.




I understand that logic perfectly, I wasn't questioning that. I was questioning why you said "the search warrant was for the house not the car." Where the hell did I suggest they search the car? Your comment made no sense and still makes no sense. You reply to one thing by going off on a tangent about something completely irrelevant to what was being discussed.





All the more reason to not enter the building through a window like a common burglar.




I agree, pretty fucking stupid to go through a window.



Well you can assume all you want but that doesn't make it true. The whole purpose of these retarded no-knock warrants is to gain surprise and not make your presence immediately known to the suspect. They paid the price this time. And so did the guy who was chilling in bed who hadn't broke any laws and had no reason to be willing to throw his life away just so he could cut down a row of cops.

Cops serving a no-knock warrant through a window are most likely going to get shot.
