In Pa, they're charging a state trooper with reckless endangerment over the shooting death of another trooper in a training session at a shooting range. That's the third fatality I know of in Pa where one officer accidentally fatally shoots another in the last several years. One was in the line of duty, one in a barracks, one at the range.

What's that have to do with this though?

just start using no knock warrants for what they were intended for, and just go with knocking on the door to serve a warrant for everything else.

THAT is the problem. They've started using no-knock warrants for everything from something as mundane as traffic warrants to murderers. It makes no sense!

The last time I checked, it's completely unconstitutional and smacks of something out of Nazi Germany.

There are bills coming down the pike to start limiting them. There has been way too many innocent people hurt or killed in these ridiculous raids.

A grand jury does not rule on guilt or innocents. They only rule if enough evidence to bring case to trial. It does not set anything as each is decide on the provable evidence.

That's what warrants are for.

Good. He had a right to defend his property without the knowledge he was being placed under arrest. Maybe now the police will start being a little more cautious and dial back their zealousness to obtain suspects.
