It appears you did:
I hadn't assigned blame, ...but the more that I think about it, the more I'm leaning in that direction.
Supposedly, she didn't fire until after they forced her door down and entered the home.
In a nation where people have the right to bear arms, it's ridiculous to expect that plainclothes officers can serve "'JOHN DOE' NO KNOCK" warrants, and not expect trouble. I think if an officer is being fired on, they have every right to fire back... no question about it, ...but for crying out loud!
The police spokesman couldn't even release the name of the drug that was supposedly bought at the house, because the lab had yet to certify the substance supposedly purchased as a drug. Well if your crime lab hadn't even certified it as a drug, ...where do you get off issuing an arrest warrant? And who's bright idea was it to have a NO KNOCK warrant served by plain clothes officers?
It wouldn't surprise me if they got the address wrong. An actor friend of mine in NYC was terrorized in his apartment one night when offficers kicked his door in, they came in with guns drawn. Turned out they were at the wrong apartment. They left... no apologies, and he was stuck in an apartment with no door on it.
Why do I have the feeling that if it was Patty Hearst, a no knock john doe warrant would not have been issued, but a phone call would more than likely have been made requesting Ms Hearst present herself to the station accompanied by her legal team?
