A tragedy to be sure. Still, one wonders whether it might have been prevented by using a quiet stakeout rather than a dynamic entry.I wonder what happened to that guy in Minnesota in 07/08 or so. An informant gave them a random address and the police burst in, so the homeowner shot two of them.
Thankfully nobody was killed, but I wonder if the homeowner is in jail now.
ETA: found it:"Vang Khang was taken into custody but later released"
That's the discussion we ought to be having here: what can we do to reduce risk while still policing effectively? A lot more boring surveillance and a lot less flash-and-bang seems to be a good start.
