Florida police raid Covid data whistleblower’s house with guns drawn

Good start.

> but

Ah.

> I think the guns were drawn because of her not opening the door for a search warrant for 20 minutes.

Good to know that failing to open the door justifies cops getting to point guns at whoever. I'm sure you wouldn't mind having a gun shoved in your face because you had headphones on, or because you're out getting groceries and you left your kid alone, right?

Fun fact, in many states pointing a gun at someone is considered lethal force, because it's very easy to kill someone once you've done that. But apparently not answering your door makes it okay for cops to be a few pounds of trigger force from killing you, try not to sneeze!

And that's before we begin going down the "cops lie about the circumstances of arrests all of the damn time" road.

> I think it's reasonable for LE to assume

No, it is not. They are serving a warrant for a non-violent crime to someone with no criminal past. It is not reasonable to assume that violence was a likely outcome. They're also serving a warrant to someone who has politically inconvenienced the governor, the fact that she got a gun pointed at her should worry the hell out of you, not the fact that she didn't open her door.

Furthermore, we've built up our police state one "it's reasonable to assume that" at a time. In fact we should go the other way and demand that cops show that they needed to apply the force they did, not answering your door is not punishable by having a gun shoved in your face. Citizens have rights, you know.

> a display of non-compliance like that.

"Comply, citizen" is something they say in dystopian fiction, it's not something you're supposed to actually express on your own.
