@@jinlim6575 lets not make assumptions. im for legalizing all drugs... i certainly dont support police arresting people for drugs. by hostiles i mostly meant people in war. if you're brave enough to rush up into an Afghani compound knowing there are men with rifles and inside ready to shoot and possible IED's, you're a badass. that was my point.

[@jinlim6575]

yeah maybe brave but also ignorant of why they are raiding the person other than they were ordered to cause "terrorist". the us burns weed fields while protecting poppy fields kinda weird how so much heroin started being produced after the us went over there.... oh and the person that made this video trains cops to do no knock raids on people.

As a street cop n a former life who didn't get near enuff training but who often cleared rooms on a daily basis and just had to make the best of what I knew at the time.. this is GOOD STUFF.

Have the door open down and you might be onto something.

[@atypical_moto]

@Otium Borealis But it is partly because of the door swinging open and blocking your view in some cases. The tough part would be foreseeing whose home or building you will need to clear and getting them to install these doors ahead of time. It wouldn't make as much sense to install them on your own home or business of course.

[@weege5.45]

@@atypical_moto Maybe someplace public where you run the risk of barricaded subjects with the intent to provide some life-saving options already in place for police entry teams that give them an edge over the bad guys. Like an office building or a bank.
