Another flashbanged baby aside: No knock SWAT raid for a kid who stole stuff seems uh... insane?
This isn't better but they actual did knock, but then waited less than ten seconds before they used the ram, so they busted the door down as the resident was approaching the door.
In fact I'd agrue it's worse because they turned a (presumably) knock warrant into a defacto no knock by refusing to wait for a response. These cops clearly wanted to play storm trooper.
Yup. Probably in an area where they knew a judge wouldn’t sign off on a no-knock warrant. So they just knocked once, then rammed the door anyways.
Also I thought the SWAT stopped doing "breach and bang" systematically ? I guess their new doctrine isn't much better if they still end up throwing grenades at babies, in the wrong house nonetheless
This most certainly will depend on where you are.
Could have been Dave Chapelle's crack dealing baby retired from the D.C. game...
To be fair, what they thought he stole was weapons, and this headline insinuates that they knew it was the wrong house beforehand, while that doesn't seem to be the case... Regardless, we shouldn't be doing SWAT type raids on secondhand info, and I personally don't think we should do them ever.
This is America. Someone having weapons isn't an emergency; it's just a typical day. Cops only treat it as an emergency when they want an excuse to cosplay as commandos.
