You are correct.
Those that would shoot a cop on a warrant search will shoot the cop regardless of laws.
Cops make it well known who they are and why they are there when the bust down the door to serve the warrant.
of course they might be at the wrong door and if you have a dog kiss it goodbye.. But that’s a whole nother issue.
That is the problem with “no-knock” warrants - there is no notice. On another thread about this there was a whole list of them at wrong addresses. Sometimes the cops got shot, sometimes the innocent victims.
Plus the thug’s ruse of yelling “police” as they are knocking down the door.
I’m really surprised that the cops brought their own safety up as an argument. And didn’t say something like the children’s safety, accidents, etc.
