I never said you did. I questioned how you can tell if the cops are telling the truth for this case when you know the cops have a long history of exaggerating the danger they face, and have long used identical tactics on cases which did not involve domestic terrorism (like a marijuana warrant). Experience tells us these regulations are not being written with the blood of innocent babies in mind, because it's easy to find news reports where babies were injured by flash grenades in early morning raids, when you would think the regulations should change after the first one .. or three. Nor is experience written with the blood the other residents of these households, like the death of Breonna Taylor during a midnight raid when her boyfriend thought the police were robbers, and the actual suspect was her ex-boyfriend who hadn't been there for a long time. Why should it change when the officers involved face very few consequences for their actions? No, it's only written with blood - often imaginary - of the police in mind, because they are the ones who write the regulations. Plus, they face almost no consequences for fabricating the severity of the dangers they face. Plus, they get more funding if they exaggerate the danger - a "safe" warrant execution justifies that that amount of force was needed to keep things safe, so we need to keep pouring money into our militarized police force.
