What is "actual police work" in this context? Searching a suspect's home after obtaining a warrant isn't "actual police work"?
- xnyan 6y agoThis is a strawman argument, they did not say searching a home is not real police work: > actual police work rather than kicking in someone's door in the middle of the night, throwing flashbangs into cribs, and massacring homeowners who dared defend themselves against what in any other circumstance would obviously be a violent home invasion.
- JoeSmithson 6y agoI chose to ignore that part because it was impossible to come up with a good faith interpretation of it. I've executed "no knock" search warrants (we would say "forced entry" or "MOE" in the UK) and caught suspects in the process of destroying evidence. This is like 15 seconds after attempting entry. 2 minutes is easily enough time to flush kgs of drugs or destroy a USB drive.
