This Is Why They Should Knock First: Multiple Cops Shot, One Killed in No Knock Raid

SWAT_team

Killeen, Texas resident Marvin Louis Guy is currently being held at the Killeen City Jail on a $3 million bond for opening fire on a Killeen Tactical Response Unit and a Central Texas Organized Crime Unit that jointly descended on his home at 5:30 in the morning without knocking first to serve a narcotics search warrant last Friday.

Multiple officers were hit. Detective Charles Dinwiddie later died from his injuries.

Based on this excerpt from the Killeen Police Department’s press release, the officers weren’t even going in through the front door:

    On Friday May 9, 2014, just after 5:30am, members of the Killeen Police Department Tactical Response Unit and the Bell Organized Crime Unit were attempting to serve a narcotics search warrant. The TRU was beginning to breach the window when the 49 year old male inside, opened fire striking four officers.

While police may refer to this as a “dynamic entry,” it really just seems like a dumb idea — especially in Texas — or at the very least, a bad idea for a gang of armed men to break in through someone’s window at the crack of dawn and not expect a response in-kind.

    That's why they are suppose to have a warrant and serve it. In reality warrants and up front arrests are to protect LEO's as much as citizens except they want to do away with them and then do away with the citizen's right to protect themselves.

    The only good cop is a dead cop. They are no longer peace keepers, but war mongers.

      Some certainly, as evidenced by their convictions, which are all too few, considering their crimes.

    Haven't Y'all READ the NDAA and patriot act. WE NO LONGER HAVE "RIGHTS" OF ANY KIND!! We are property of the state. ANY "officer" can do with you as they will. YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS. This isn't some far off "maybe/if" future, this is HEAR NOW. Fight or hide ; but stop pretending we still have a "rule of law" that will somehow, as if by majic protect you from the jackbooted Nazi scum. The republic is dead, Law is dead . You want "equal protection under the law" , Then take that AR-15 and head to the hills and START SHOOTIN' 'cause all the other options are used up.-----Ray
