"fact remains that this thread by any other name could also be called "how to kill a cop""
Hate to disagree, but no - there are some great techniques for tying up an assulting force and inflicting casualties, but no one here has specificly pointed them out. Nor, IMHO, should they.
This thread seems to be evolving into a philosophical discussion on armed resistance to an illegal raid.
Most of us here are in fact lawful citizens and, due to our mindset, do look at contingentcies. There is a great deal of no-knock searches that do not end in innocents being killed. But there are an outrageous number that are irresponsible. I think the question comes down to what do you do?
What do you do now, what will you do if you or yours gets targeted in the future, what will you do if due process goes out the window?
As with any tactical question, mission, enemy, troops (available), time and terrain will drive your plans.
