Yet another SWAT raid death and no charges filed

I’m assuming no such post by Czarcasm exists and that you believe this proves something. At the same time, I’ll assume you believe that a “wearing a halo” post does exist and this also proves something. I mean, they’re both such convenient clams for you, aren’t they, because they sound relevant but aren’t, really.

What difference does it make if the guy has a halo or not? Shouldn’t the more relevant criterion be if he has a criminal record suggesting violence that might justify a smash-in entry with the intent of overwhelming him?

Besides, even a saintly person with no criminal record, confronted with shouting men in their home in the middle of the night might behave as he did and be shot for it. You yourself admit that you’d probably be dead under these circumstances too. Do you have a halo? Would it matter if you did or not?

Sure, being a criminal increases the odds that one day police will come smashing into your house to serve a no-knock entry, but:

-This is not guaranteed, since the majority of criminals don’t have this happen to them; and
-This occasionally does happen to people with no criminal records at all.

I figure anybody might behave as the dead man did - you, me, some random guy in some random house - so his record (or halo-status) is of no relevance, but you bring it up anyway because you seem to think you can claim it does. I’m not sure why - I don’t think anybody here is stupid enough to fall for it.

Well, nobody that matters, anyway.
