Is there any compelling reason for this type of police work, often resulting in death for cops and suspects?

Originally posted by bill718It is legal, and very prevalent. An officer in Detroit is on trial for shooting a small girl during such a raid. He claims a female occupant of the house grabbed his gun, which discharged.

Sometimes a court order is required. Other times certain task forces, usually drug enforcement are given permission to do whatever they want.
