Sneaky is winding your chain, he is against no knock warrants.
I thought something like that.
The Breonna Taylor case is one where the live-in-a-compound-militia libertarian types can agree with the Black-Panther-anti-capitalist crowd. Those two groups probably have more in common that they think, including the fear that (for all their freedom rhetoric) what they really want is to shoot each other.
I’d just like to see a change in no-knock raids.
What is a reasonable expectation for how someone should act getting woke up in the middle of the night by people breaking into their house?
Submit.
Furtive movements.
The young man in the hotel hallway in Mesa, AZ didn’t have a gun.
That usually works in those situations
I make a chart here at home for the family
When someone breaks into your house armed with intent to do you harm, being armed yourself is the only chance you have to defend yourself. It is never a guarantee.
And as to the latter:
“Americans may be divided on this issue, but police know that allowing law-abiding citizens to keep and bear firearms improves everyone’s safety.
Take the survey just released last week by the National Association of Chiefs of Police. After polling more than 20,000 sheriffs and chiefs of police, the NACOP found that 86.4 percent “support nationwide recognition of state issued concealed weapon permits” and 76 percent believe that “qualified, law-abiding armed citizens help law enforcement reduce violent criminal activity.”
There is probably no group that supports private gun ownership more than the police do.
Rank-and file-police show even stronger support for private gun ownership. PoliceOne, an organization of about 380,000 active and 70,000 retired officers, surveyed 16,000 members on the subject in 2013.
Virtually all of the survey’s respondents said the “assault-weapons” ban, “a federal ban on ammunition magazines that hold more than ten rounds,” background checks on private transfers of guns, and “a national database tracking all legal gun sales” would either do no good or actually cause harm.
Seventy-one percent of officers said that an assault-weapons ban would have no effect, while 20.5 percent said that it would make things worse. Seventy-six percent of officers said that legally armed citizens are either extremely important or very important in reducing crime. Eighty-six percent of officers said that abolishing gun-free zones would reduce or eliminate casualties from mass shootings.
Police are informed by what they see on the street every day. They know how important having a gun is to their own safety, and they know the help that private citizens can provide them if properly armed and trained.”

You certainly don’t know that to be true.
The death is due to bad acts by the cops period.
This of course went completely ignored and unanswered for a reason.
Yeah … it pretty much killed the thread for a while, didn’t it.
I might be missing something in all this. Did the cops who did the no-knock just decide to do this on their own? Or were they sent there by someone at headquarters? (My guess is that it’s the latter.)
If they were sent there by leadership, did they no-knock at the right door? (If not, who made the mistake? The ones executing the entry? Or the one(s) who sent them there?)
If this was a forced entry that shouldn’t have happened in the first place, the responsibility for that should fall on leadership.
It happens more than you think, this is my communitys version.

Did they have body cams?
Yeah’ the body camera malfunction thing upsets me. The number one excuse.
Like when a bad cop is beating someone already unconscience they yell, “Stop resisting,” whack, “Stop resisting,” whack!
This case is a “win for the people”.
By design it is all but impossible for you to manipulate anything recorded on a body cam and like every other new technology they do malfunction.
Are there cases where cops have intentionally turned them off in order to do something illegal or improper? You bet.
Until however the issues of battery life and storage capability are dealt with as technology advances and the privacy issues are worked out they are going to have that capability.
Battery life is a joke.
Why are stun guns at the ready fully charged?
They use more juice.
You don’t understand anything about batteries, storage, camera’s, or you’re fibbin’.
Abusive cops hate getting caught on camera.
Abusive cops hate getting caught.
Stun guns have to be activated, they are not running constantly.
The circuit isn’t complete until you press the trigger.

I doubt he’ll see the irony in his post.
Really? How often during the shift does the typical cop deploy his stun gun?
Ahhhhhhh’ they have batteries in them right?
You mean to tell me wether or not a tazer gets used defines wether or not it is fully cahrged before hand?
What kind of nonsense is that?
My point is not how, and when any given battery that is part of the gear is activated, but that it is to be fully charged prior to any need to activate, as part of the overall gear check prior to deployment.
That is as riduclous as saying, “well I don’t carry live bullets in my gun, because I don’t use them until the the pin strikes the cap.” 
A cops gun is cleaned, maintained, operational, and loaded with live rounds while on duty.
A cops tazer is cleaned, maintained, and battery fully charged, and ready to “activate” as well while on duty.
A body cam, just like the rest of gear, it will be cleaned, maintained, operational, and fully charged.
Please refrain from putting words into my mouth.
You wouldn’t want me putting stuff into your mouth now would you?
There no drain on the battery unless you activate it. This isn’t hard to understand.
A flashlight’s battery doesn’t drain unless you turn the light on does it?
Stun guns and tasers work in the same way.
Unless you activate it the batteries can last for weeks or months.
A body cam that is activated drains the batteries from the moment you pull it off the charger and turn it on until you turn it off and they use a tremendous amount of energy.
Pick any video camera, and start recording and see how long the battery lasts.
