I was wanting to get a handle on how prevalent botched police no knock raids were and I ran across this. Sad, very sad. Notice how many more times an innocent person is killed by police (blue icon) than a police officer is killed in such a raid (brown icon). What prompted me to look for this? I was listening to a talk radio host take questions about the new radar that can look inside your home and several callers were like "It won't let police see anything other than where the people are" and "this will save police lives." The host was like "Well I as long as the police have to have a warrant to do the raid anyway it's okay."

How about this? Just say no to no knock raids! And just about every raid on this map is a drug raid. Some of the raids were against legit medical marijuana users in states where med marijuana is legal! End the freaking war on drugs, demilitarize the police, and nobody gets killed in a no knock raid, radar or no radar.

But if we do that, who will shoot the children? Who will imprison and gang-rape the children? Have you thought about that? Have you thought about... the children?!?!?!
