Thought I would give a update. It was announce that this is finally going to the grand jury next month. Man it seams like it has taken for ever. This happened in Sept of 2014. Still no official statement from the sheriffs department and no one has ever been put on suspension. Local DA recused himself so state assigned a special prosecutor. The general feeling locally is noting is going to happen.

At the risk of offending, I'll offer another opinion on LEOs. My ex BIL is former GSP...just plead guilty to multiple counts of felony arson and insurance fraud. Used to brag about cuffing and beating people, and "pitted" a guy (guy died in the crash) several hundred yards ahead of a road block just to get his jollies. Leading up to the divorce, would txt my sister that it was about time "to wash her mouth out with buckshot" and just posted today on FB that, if he were to commit suicide, there'd be 4 or 5 that'd go with him (gotta figure my sis and I are in that list). There may be a lot of honest LEOs out there, but in the 10 years or so he was in the family, we saw a lot more of people like him (hopped up on ego and hoping they'd get to shoot someone) than the kind I was raised to believe they all were.
Oh, and that guilty plea? 20 years probation, restitution and he walked with no time served. And he kept custody of my 15yo nephew.
Gotta love our legal system.

My thoughts on no knock warrants. They should be used very spairingly. Only when a gang or organized crime involved maybe. They have to be done absolutely perfect each and every time, or that force shouldn't be allowed to do another. I agree with someone above, they should have sent a couple of officers to detain at the job site, and a team to search the residence in a more relaxed manner.

A further thought. If at 3am I hear a door/window broke in...Dog will go off, barking to threat. Weird ole steve right behind her. This could happen at my house, just the same way. Chances are, by aquantence at least, I'd know a couple on the entrance team.

"No Knock Warrant What is you opinion"
................and i'm in the house with my family doing what? handling drugs? then that sort of thing is most likely expected....
................if i'm at home, evening and the kids are in bed - i'm thinking "thugs" and apparently there's going to be a lot of gunfire......
................would hope local law enforcement wouldn't do something like that....

I have never heard of a "No Knock Warrant" being used in Virginia. They very well could have been, I don't hear everything that goes on in the state.
Now, if someone breaks into my home at 3:00am unannounced there is a 100% chance they will get a few rounds of 3" magnum 00 buckshot for their trouble. The way things are these days it could very well be a bunch of gangbanging hoodrats as it could be the police. And if it is the police whatever judge signed that warrant has never read the Bill of Rights or the Constitution, in my opinion. These are dangerous time we live in & not just from the bad guys. I'm not saying all police officers are bad guys, they are not. But there are some that are. Give them a gun, a badge & a little authority & all that power goes to their head.

I really think it would be easy to just arrest him at a job site than to go thru this. But then they can't dress up like Ninjas and drive the MRAP around town with the siren blaring.
