Sometimes people barricade themselves inside the home or have hostages. I had assumed that was the only case where they used flashbangs ... until I read this article. According to the article police can get a no-knock arrest warrant. I don't get why that type of warrant is authorized so frequently. I guess courts are giving the police whatever they ask for. It seems like cops are afraid of losing their lives, and they think flashbangs protect them. I can understand that thought process. But it doesn't excuse what is happening. I couldn't live with myself if I burned up a baby like they did. Unbelievable that the county won't pay medical bills.
