If it has, then the argument that they have personal calpability for not announcing themselves would seem very much a case of punishing the scapegoat because they seem easy.
Which is rather the same basic thing as racism, would you not agree?
No, it has not become accepted practice. Police are supposed to announce themselves. That's why they claim they did. But eleven neighbors, and Kenneth Walker say that they did not. Of course, the piece of shit bootlicking Attorney General decided to go with the ONE neighbor who said they did, instead of the eleven who conflicted with such statements. Then you have the fact that the guy they were looking for, had already been arrested earlier that day. Something they would've known if they hadn't been stupid pieces of shit. And of course you have the 9-11 call from Walker which has him saying "Someone kicked in the door and shot my girlfriend." (How many people call the cops on the cops?)
Police should be held to a fucking high standard, not this bullshit low standard of "Well, they feared for their life!" Guess who really fears for their life? Black people EVERY FUCKING DAY. Especially when they deal with police. It's time we put a stop to it, and start holding them fucking accountable.
A no-knock warrant is a different kind of warrant from a regular one.
It specifies that the police do not have to announce themselves...they don't have to knock.
The element of surprise is supposed to be the reason for it.
In using no-knocks you end up with situations like this one where the wrong house is breached and an innocent person is killed.
