No-knock raid leaves two Louisiana cops dead, lives ruined
The daughters of a woman still fighting to survive after a deadly officer-involved shooting in Ville Platte are speaking out for the first time.

Hey, hey, hey.
Some of them are dead.

Some cops were bastards?
dead bastards
"No-knock raids" just seems like a recipe for disaster..?
Of course citizens are gonna shoot back when loud and violent people suddenly bust down their doors..
Bad post title.
No real details on the article at all. I feel bad for that family.
I agree the article and title are terrible. But from what I was able to piece together from three separate articles on the same site:
The police were executing a narcotics search warrant. During the execution, the father of the family (Sistrane Edwards) was shot once and killed. The pet (Unnamed) was also shot and killed. The mother (Cynthia Soileau) was shot and is alive, in the hospital, in critical condition.
Deputy Marshall Barry Giglio was shot and killed, allegedly by the son (Vonteeko Anderson) in the family, who's been arrested for first degree murder + some drug offenses.
Someone else was also arrested but not named or charged.
The father, Sistrane Edwards, is a veteran with 13 years in law enforcement - which is probably why OP's title mentions "two Louisiana cops dead".
Most important lines of the article:
Anderson’s sisters say their mother, stepfather, brother, and her brother’s girlfriend had only recently moved into the home where the search warrant was executed.
They say a violent robbery at their previous house forced the family to move there, and they believe that played a factor in what happened Monday night.
This smells of botched paperwork. It wouldn't be the first time a no knock raid caused loss of life because someone didn't bother to double check the address. I'd rather the police not have this in their toolbox. It's too prone to mistakes, qualified immunity means no one is held accountable, and the resulting lawsuits become the tax payer's problem. We need justice, but justice done with due diligence and accountability.
Midnight, no-knock warrants are so good damn stupid and just a recipe to get people killed by dumbass police.
I feel bad for this family, regardless of the was a drug dealer in the house, for having this happen to them to potentially lose two parents like this.
The saddest part is that they murdered innocent people like they do every day. The second saddest part is that some of the pigs survived.
I'm confused, are the cops dead, or the other people, or both? I can't read the article in my country.
Looks like the male resident (former police) died. The female resident is critical. One of the invading police died.
