Is Your Belligerent RW Neighbor a "Swatting Prankster"? You'd better hope not.


Homeowner Killed In No-Knock Drug Raid. No Drugs Found. Shot in the head and back.

DailyKos * by Sam FishFollow * THU DEC 11, 2014

David Hooks was shot in the back and head as he was lying face down on the floor during a drug raid by Laurens County deputies. That's according to the lawyer representing his family. It's been nearly four months since David Hooks was shot to death during a drug raid at his East Dublin home.

As it turns out, David Hooks was apparently face-down on the ground when he was murdered by the police, who were conducting what is known as a "no-knock raid". This is when the police are allowed to enter a person's home without the homeowner or primary occupant's permission.

All it takes is a combination of an over-eager police unit + a bogus tip. This is doubly so when you have the ever increasingly popular Swatting pranks occurring with ever increasing frequency.
