Bodycams should absolutely be required for these warrants.

This one should get interesting. I wonder if the cops had their body cams running. I do worry about the "no knock" warrants for this very reason.

The officer's knocking and announcing their presence is a fact in dispute. With the known fact that the officers had a warrant for a bogus address and an apparent bogus sighting of a car... this sounds like an incident similar to what happened in Houston. An officer lied and/or manufactured evidence to get the warrant... and allegedly did a poor job executing the warrant. In any event it was a bad raid with an unnecessary death.
