Fake Police in Missouri City Home Invasion

[WildBill]

Missouri City police are warning residents to be on the lookout for a group of suspects who impersonated police during a home invasion early Thursday.

A man and his girlfriend were in bed around midnight when they heard someone trying to kick in the front door of the home. The man retrieved his weapon and ran to the top of the stairs. He said that is when three to four men wearing what appeared to be police uniforms burst through the door. The suspects yelled they were the police, but man demanded to see badges.

One of the suspects hit the homeowner in the head with the butt of a gun and then ran away. He chased the suspects outside and starting shooting, but he does not believe he hit any of the suspects.

This is why you ALWAYS SHOOT ANYONE WHO BUSTS DOWN YOUR DOOR. It doesn't matter what they're wearing or what they say.

And yet the police defend "no-knock" search warrants because they say no else who break into houses impersonates as police

Copied from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-knock_warrant:

The number of no-knock raids has increased from 3,000 in 1981 to more than 50,000 in 2005, according to Peter Kraska, a criminologist at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Kentucky [1]. Raids that lead to deaths of innocent people are increasingly common; since the early 1980s, 40 bystanders have been killed, according to the Cato Institute in Washington, DC.[1]

And I would like to add, "and innocent people's dogs have been shot and killed."
