I’ve been ranting here and on Slog about no-knock drug raids used to enforce suspected nonviolent drug offenses. Armed agents bust down the door of a private residence in the middle of the night, a groggy resident pulls a gun on the intruders, everyone shoots, and the police and/or the suspect ends up dead. There are better ways to apprehend most suspects.
But the raids continue every day. And things go wrong across the country, as shown by this map of paramilitary raids from the Cato Institute.
