Most cops knock and then step aside from the doorway. It is a major danger funnel. No gonna armchair quarterback their situation, but the average local patrol cop has more tactical knowledge than the average federal agent. The US Marshalls being the exception. They serve warrants all day long.
Good points - especially about the tactical aspect. Never underestimate an opponent and these people who comprise this heinous pedophile/human trafficking underworld are particularly dangerous as they have no regard for human life.
In this particular case, it appears the beast was watching the agents from the camera on his doorbell. I didn’t do a dive into this to see if the two agents were a part of a larger contingent (i.e. agents at the back/side doors, on the street, etc), if they were dressed/armed to breach the door if necessary, etc.
Whenever anyone I’m talking to complains about law enforcement, I remind them that, barring the corrupt ones - and ALL lines of work have those bad apples - it’s LE who stands bravely between decent people and dangerous scum.
