Officer found not guilty for shooting Ms. Taylor.

We really need to end no knock raids.

Everyone seems to say it, but they keep having them.

That was my understanding. A no knock warrant was issued, but for some reason the officers decided knock and announce. KY Attorney General said there was corroboration on the knock and announcement.
Still, something feels off. Why would you knock with a no knock warrant? Body cam would sure clear up some of the mystery.

I was listening to an interview with one of the senior offices from Dallas PD on talk radio this afternoon. The officer said that one of the most important parts of gaining community support in some of these high profile (for right or wrong) is transparency. Sometimes, like in the Michael Brown matter with "hands up, don't shoot" the facts don't matter. In others, some straight information would help to keep the media from playing with facts. If any of the facts are true about packages of drugs being sent to her house by her previous boyfriend, some of the reasons for the raid are more clear. I've always had a problem with the no-knock premise that the evidence can be flushed down the toilet before the officers can get in to seize it. I'm not sure breaking down doors for the quantities of drugs that can be quickly flushed down toilets is the best strategy.

End no knock warrants. Period.

I remember when the "WAR" on drugs started. The War has killed a lot of people and I see today that we are no more winning it than when Nixon declared war in 1971. I feel a lot less safe in America, than I did in 1971. Maybe police resources could be used in better ways. I have always felt that the government should take the profit motive out of it. Have government drug stores where addicts can get the stuff at low cost with a little advice on the side.

So we've been lied to all this time.

From what I read the police claim they did knock and announce their presence. I thought a "no knock" warrant was when they just kick in the door and rush inside the home without announcing they are there..

Records show that the police investigation was centered around a "trap house" more than 10 miles from Taylor's apartment, and that a judge had approved a "no-knock" search warrant, meaning officers did not have to identify themselves, according to The Courier-Journal.

They had a no knock warrant but knocked anyway? Plus the guy they were looking for was already in custody. Something doesn't sound right to me. Whether they knocked or not, there should be no more no knock warrants.
