Man Shoots At Intruders, Turns Out It Was A No-knock Raid. Now He Faces The Death Penalty

[SmarterThanTheAverageBear]

"Uh hell no, I didn't take time to out, I just shot him

Go to jail

Unless you get a stupid jury. Which is of course possible.

The only thing that can be stupid about this entire ordeal is the no-knock raid.

I'm not a fan of them either, but the alternative is militarized police which I don't like either.

Or would you prefer police just lined up to get shot?

 

[R.C. Christian]

It's too bad the guy didn't live in MN or this would have been justifiable and lawful.

 

[Care4all]

are there a gazillion cases of cops being shot when serving normal search warrants that I am unaware of.....?

How many cops get shot serving warrants in a year?

However many it is, it doesn't justify cops dropping a flash bang in a baby's crib.

No.

People get spooked when their space is invaded and their lives are threatened. Their first instinct is to defend themselves.

They don't have time to mull scenarios or decide on different options. They just defend themselves.

No knock searches are a real dumb-ass and dangerous thing to do.

The only way to put an end to these no-knock raids is by awarding victims massive civil awards. If you run a no-knock raid against a family or person and there isn't enough evidence obtained for legitimate charges, then the victim is awarded $10 million. Injure a family member, and the award is $20 million. Kill someone in the home, and the award is $50 million per person. There would never be another no-knock raid in this country. The war on drugs is a massive disaster. Worst of all, in most of these no-knock raids, they are going after two bit dealers rather than big time drug dealers.

What the hell do the cops care? They aren't paying anything! No, the way to stop these raids is for people to start dropping the hammer on bad cops. It really is that simple.

Man Who Shot at Cops During No-Knock Raid Acquitted on All Charges

After a 9 hour deliberation, a jury has found Adrian Perryman, not guilty on all four counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer.

The incident that led to the charges against Perryman happened during the pre-dawn hours of October 26, 2010 in San Antonio, TX.

SAPD’s tactical response unit was executing a no-knock search warrant. The occupants in the house at the time were Perryman, his girlfriend Rebecca Flores, and Flores’s 3 year old grand daughter Savannah.

When Flores saw two shadowy men on the security cameras, she woke up Perryman, and tossed him his gun.

That's fascinating since the OP is about a man named Marvin Louis Guy.

certainly

the point being one does not necessarily go to jail for shooting at no knock entries

there are other similar cases

That's how cops feel when threatened too. They don't have time to ponder all the options the cop haters think they should.

OR STOP DRUG DEALING. Especially in a home with kids.

That's another option. But blaming cops...is easier than personal responsibility.

Precisely! And it has been said by others, that it's up to the jury....

I'm just hoping that if there really is nothing more to this story that we don't know already, this man won't even be indicted by the grand jury, and have to go through the negative life changing experience, of going through a trial where he is facing the death penalty....even when found not guilty, it will affect his life forever.

The policeman did lose his life forever though, which is sad as well, for him, who was only following orders and doing his job, and for his family, left behind.

These no knock searches need to stop...it's just not worth putting policemen/swat etc....through the risk that they are putting them in....and for what? A small time drug bust? Or bad information and no illegality at all?

Makes no sense to me....none.

Except this guy was not dealing drugs.
