No Knock Raid on the Wrong Person

Hopefully, this may help to stop this. [Link]

Berwyn Heights, MD Mayor Cheye Calvo, who was handcuffed by police after they shot and killed his two dogs in a baseless marijuana raid on his home, will criticize the overuse of SWAT-style drug raids this Thursday (9/11) at the Cato Institute in Wash, DC.

The event can be viewed live on Cato's website. Also speaking are Radley Balko of Reason Magazine and Peter Christ of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, a group of cops who want to make our streets safer by legalizing and regulating all drugs.

No Knock raids serve little purpose and have more than a little chance of picking the wrong house. People get hurt or killed, and usually the homeowner is held at fault for defending themselves.
