Maybe they should have staked out the house and once he left the property simply place him under arrest then have him lead them back into the home for a search.

I make this same comment every time there is a thread regarding no-knock raids. Much safer for everyone to just wait for the suspect to go out in public and then arrest him/her when no one is likely to get hurt.

Police raided the house ... with a search warrant after they were told by an anonymous source that drugs were being sold out of the home ...

1. I'm surprised a judge in Maryland issued a warrant based on a single anonymous tip - that's terrifying. Think about it. Have you made anyone angry today?
2. They probably couldn't have arrested him on the street prior to their raid because they didn't have probable cause.
3. I wonder if the city of Baltimore is going to pay for the damages their terror squad caused breaking into the guy's house.
4. I'm surprised one or more of the residents wasn't killed by the police during the firefight.
6. This case is another illustration of why the government should confiscate our weopons - so we can't kill cops breaking into our homes.
7. More and more of this is happening all over America, and if we think it can never happen to innocent people, we had better think again.
