Yeeaah...what do you say anymore?! I guess I agree with:
1) Primary responsibility falls on those developing and allowing no-knock raids. Presuming those people can't be charged, there should at least be a large civil settlement...for whatever good that does.
2) The cop was acting as trained and (probably) isn't legally liable the way the law is written, but I agree with the comment that he has moral responsibility. This isn't the army: he wouldn't have been punished for knocking at his discretion or simply entering more cautiously. It doesn't take a lot of brainpower to realize that the actions you're taking have a risk of starting a shootout.
3) For God's sake, how many more systematic problems do we have that need fixing? And why do they all come to light in Minneapolis? Gross.
4) There are lots of good, idealistic cops out there. And there are lots of power fetish cops out there. We badly need the good ones, and badly need to get rid of the bad ones.
