Originally posted by rogue06 View PostWhen I took a few criminal law classes in college, the professor gave something along the following
Police misread a warrant and go to the wrong house with a no-knock warning. They're plain clothes and several aren't easily identifiable as cops. They kick in the door amidst much noise and confusion not making it clear they are the police. The homeowner thinks its a home invasion robbery, grabs a pistol from the nightstand and steps out of the bedroom. Seeing armed figures rummaging through his house he shoots and misses and is in turn wounded by return fire.
The question he would ask is would the homeowner be arrested given those conditions.
Everyone said no, citing various parts of the incident. I answered yes, he would be arrested.
I was correct. He likely wouldn't be charged (unless he was a felon with a gun) but he would certainly be arrested.
The jury found the drug dealer not guilty of capital murder for killing my friend.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I think of the ultimate disaster - the Waco situation - and how many times they saw David Koresh at the local post office or hardware store...Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

An ALARMINGLY high number of these drug houses have small children in them, along with bad people with fully automatic weapons......
The "dynamic entry" makes no sense unless you have actual real time comprehensive intel on what's going on in that house or place of business.

In my opinion, it was an excuse for the government to show its force. They thought they would impress Americans with their heavy-handedness but it completely backfired. No one was impressed with their tactics, and people were horrified with the results.
