No Knock SWAT Raids

50. Nope, nor did I miss that abuse is far more likely than the sales pitch

Probably by something like 100,000 to 1.

The instances of such situations are so low that I'd prefer to use pardon power to offset the "crime" than to make such a thing a part of the legal toolbox.

Add in the poor outcomes of even the most legitimate uses and I just cannot come up with enough upside to justify the risks and side effects.

Governing toward one offs is poor logic and leads to too damn much "who would have ever guessed" moments. Free clue, the same folks the formally blasé or adamant, now hand wringers were ignoring and shouting down all the time.

At some point optimism becomes an anchor distorting reality and making good and even sensible choices either nearly impossible and/or achievable by blind luck alone.

Shit, you threw in terrorism which is something that might be frighteningly vividly defined in your mind but in actual real world application becomes almost infinitely vague and more abuse ready than present foolhardy and wickedly stupid application in common use today.

Too hasty to act and quicker to forget the folly of the quick and easy paths taken in vain efforts to create illusions of safety while fomenting greater dangers in the natural course of doing business on these poorly considered reactions.

A damn mob on strings spurred by the treacherous, the greedy, and the insane rather than a society of free people.
