Yesterday police served a search warrant in a homicide investigation in St Paul. At 6:30 AM they were let into an apartment by a landlord, only beginning to shout "police search warrant" as the SWAT team charged in for 5 seconds before encountering 22 year old Amir Locke, sleeping under a heavy comforter on a sofa, not involved in the homicide case and just staying over that night and abruptly woken up in the dark apartment by the shouts and lights. Within just three more seconds, Amir grabbed a handgun under the blanket before being immediately shot and killed by the officers. It all took place in less than a ten second span from Amir being woken up, with no knocking on the door or being asked to be let in or alerting the occupants. Amir Locke, who has no criminal record, legally owned the handgun and was staying at the apartment by invitation.
The police search warrant specified "AIR WHEN ABOUT TO EXECUTE THIS RISK – NO NOISE EXPECTED", the code for a no-knock warrant.
https://www.startribune.com/sources-man-shot-and-killed-by-minneapolis-police-during-raid-was-not-target-of-investigation/600142720/Minneapolis and St Paul both previously adopted a policy of requiring officers to announce their purpose as a "Search warrant" (or same for arrest warrants) before entering any domicile, even if a judge signed off on a no-knock warrant, and to repeat that as they enter for anyone who may not have heard it being declared outside. This raid demonstrates the technicality of fulfilling that policy in the least possible way, literally screaming 'search warrant' in the split second before they crossed the threshold and shouting it as they charged in. No reasonable person inside could have any opportunity to react or answer it, much less a sleeping person at 630 AM.
Thankfully its about negative fuck-you degrees in Minnesota right now so I don't expect riots.
I mean even the dumbest moron alive knows that will get you shot.
