Broken Doors
With a typical search warrant, police are supposed to knock and announce themselves. But with no-knock warrants, police can force their way into people’s homes without warning. This six-part investigative podcast from The Washington Post sheds light on how easy it is to plan, obtain and execute no-knock warrants — one of the most intrusive and dangerous police tactics. We explore the consequences when these warrants become the rule, rather than the exception. Hosted by investigative reporters Jenn Abelson and Nicole Dungca, “Broken Doors” is about how no-knock warrants are deployed in the American justice system — and what happens when accountability is flawed at every level.

Great story telling, incredible investigative journalism. Paid for WaPo’s podcast subscription so more stories like this are told. As a public defender in the south, I see firsthand how systemic police misconduct destroys lives.
Disappointing

This is what I call pussyfooting-journalism. The journalist was frustratingly timid in her interview with that dingleberry sheriff. Why not confront him with what she already had and knew? Why cater to his blatant lies and giggle like a shy schoolgirl when he behaved inappropriately (i.e., trying to grab her notes)? That was a cringe fest! For an investigative journalist from The Washington Post with an excellent lead, this was abysmal. I wish the New York Times had this story instead. They would have run marathons with it.

The overall theme of this pod is pretty clear. Mostly agree with it. But, and there is always a but, this podcast has been overdone to try to get an emotional response from us and not really get to the underlying problem. The problem ; too many guns in the USA. In addition, drug use is rampant causing more emotional responses. I am not smart enough to have a answer for this but there are others who can. More discussion and suggested solutions needed. Hope so and hope soon.

Jenn Abelson is a phony.
