Here's the problem. This wasn't rogue police officers who decided on their own to break into an apartment for no reason. They were sent there and a legal process allowed them to enter without knocking. They saw the gun in the mans hand and acted accordingly. Unless of course you just think the cops should do nothing when they see someone brandishing a gun out from underneath the covers? You title the thread "Killer Cops" when it's the process that is flawed. Eve summed it up pretty well.....
I don't agree with no-knock warrants unless they believe someone else's life is in danger. Like a childs or something.
What we have is a problem with the process. The system allows for no knock warrants. If you are being awakened from your sleep you may not yet be aware of who is coming into your home. As such, a homeowner or occupant of that residence has a right to defend their property or person by brandishing a firearm. The cops have the right to protect themselves from being shot.
So what we end up with is s system that sets up a scenario to where both the cops and the person residing in the home follow legal procedure and the law and an innocent person ends up dying. That's a flawed system and not "Killer Cops".
