Go to page 1 of this thread. Go to the second entry, which is a 2:04 bodycam video. As soon as it begins you can see the LEO standing at the front door, looking into the house through the glass storm door. But never announcing "Fort Worth PD". Then skulking around to the right, under an apparent car port, then looking into the window and shooting this poor woman.Charles L.

Why did they not simply announce themselves? "This is the Fort Worth Police, your door is open, is everything okay in there?" I mean, this wasn't a "no-knock raid" against a known drug house or something of that nature, even if the neighborhood in question isn't Trophy Club. If they were expecting trouble, why would they have stood in front of the open doorway, assuming they did indeed do exactly that? That just doesn't make sense, from a "tactical" perspective.
