The executive director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas, was shot Tuesday as federal agents arrived at his home to serve a search warrant, police said.
I feel like you don’t really need to show up at 6 am to serve a search warrant. Making a commotion and trying to barge into someone’s home when they’ve just awoken is kind of a recipe for them to make bad decisions. If you need surprise to make sure they don’t destroy evidence, just get them when they’re out of the house. Wait until he goes to work, then send the crew to the house and a couple agents to his work to serve him there and escort him to the residence? It might take a little longer to figure out when the house is empty and you can secure it, but it means fewer people get shot.

But that wouldn’t be fun for the paramilitary police.
