On Monday afternoon, a Minneapolis City Council committee held a hearing on a bomb suppression order following the death of Amir Locke, who was shot and killed by a Minneapolis police officer in his apartment Wednesday while serving a bomb suppression order.
As legislative negotiations continued, law enforcement and criminal justice experts, as well as Locke family activists and lawyers, provided the City Council with research and perspectives on the impact and harm of the bomb ban.
Rachel Moran, an attorney and criminal justice professor, said at the hearing that no-knock orders allow police to enter someone's home without knocking, sometimes without even announcing their presence.
If authorized by a judge, police may also enter during hours outside the 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Window, to which normal search warrants are usually limited.
Moran cited a New York Times investigation that found that at least 81 civilians and 13 law enforcement officers were killed in "non-knock" and "quick knock" attacks in the United States between 2010 and 2016 - and many more were seriously injured.
