dunno why they did
probably wouldve gone a lot smoother if they didnt
It wasn't a no-knock warrant when they were there.
It had been downgraded.
from what i understand judge granted a no knock and they knocked anyway
any source on the warrant being downgraded?
Kentucky's AG.
yeah im just seeing a lot of things saying it was not executed as a no knock warrant
Do you really think that officers would just decide "Hey I'm going to knock instead for this no-knock warrant?" I mean, I'm using Occam's razor here.
Or do you think they were told to knock and announce?
i am going off of what is being reported and what the officers own statements are
not speculation
I mean, pretty sure Mattingly said exactly what I just said.
Jus saying.
`"The warrant for Taylor’s home was secured as a “no-knock” warrant, which allows police to enter a home without announcing themselves. Mattingly said in his recorded statement to investigators, however, that he and his team were told to knock on the door and announce themselves."` https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIri7Xq0cVQ
so
they were issued a no knock warrant
being told is not changing the warrant
I mean, if you want to get into that level of semantic argument.
since you decided that my statement was wrong even though it wasnt
Yes, because they were told to knock. I didn't exactly say you were wrong, I was attempting to further clarify.
Because your statement left out context, hence why I followed it up. I didn't say your facts were wrong.
yes but your context was incorrect, or half correct, and then you said i was being semantic
when i was just providing context for your context
Not really?
the warrant being downgraded
That's a matter of perspective I suppose.
That is true.
we are talking about legal proceedings so semantics are important
😛
It was downgraded. If it weren't, they'd not have knocked and announced.
And they'd not have been ordered/told to knock and announce.
who did the ordering?
I'm guessing one of their superiors, as these things usually go.
only a judge would have the authority to change a warrant right?
im not saying they werent ordered to do knock and announce
but
i dont believe the warrant itself was changed
This is where we'll get into a semantics argument between literal and figurative.
