Mississippi has a history of no-knock searches — with dangerous results. Police have raided the wrong homes, and in one 2020 case, officers even shot and wounded an unarmed person visiting a targeted home.
Yet as other states tightened their no-knock search laws, Mississippi officials did nothing.
Since the Keeton killing in 2015, judges in six courts across the state have approved at least 62 no-knock search warrants that failed to show that they met basic constitutional standards, an investigation by The Marshall Project - Jackson and the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal found.
The news organizations showed copies of the warrants from across the state to legal experts including attorneys, law professors and former federal magistrates. The experts agreed that most of the search warrants and affidavits showed no written legal justification for the no-knock warrants.
So they can have a reason to kill minorities, that’s the answer. No-knock raids lead to the person whose house is being raided to think they are being robbed or attacked, thus they try to defend themselves, which leads to the police to kill the person.
Just gotta kill them faster than they can kill you or pop one of these bad bois with a trip wire on the doors.
