TELL BOTH SIDES

To balance your enthusiastic portrayal of no-knock police raids in
"Police! Search Warrant!," you should present some of the tragic
outcomes that have taken place as a result of policemen forcing
themselves into people's homes.

Mistaken identities, lying informants and simple miscommunication have
led to people dying and killing police officers. At the same time,
giving police a green light to bash their way into people's homes in
response to nonviolent drug crimes represents a dangerous advancement
in the militarization of law enforcement.
