I thought I'd heard it was teflon coated bullets, but I wasn't positive and didn't want to say anything if it had been something from Lethal Weapon or something like that, LOL. And right, big enough, fast enough bullet and you're screwed.

Kinda. Speed / hardness of the material… I wonder how a moissanite sabot would perform.

You don't need armor piercing ammo. We've been told that a simple 9mm handgun ammo will "blow out a lung"

Even in a no-knock situation like serving a warrant on a dangerous suspect, police will still identify themselves. Not to mention marking on their vests, badges, and cars with lights. This even pertains to the “jump out boys” that will take people down on the street. Let’s not forget this wasn’t SWAT knocking down someone’s door, this was two men knocking on the door of a residence at night. No reason why real PD wouldn’t have immediately identified themselves.

Show us one. Such an incident would without a doubt make headline news across the nation.

Nonsense. This whole no-knock raid thing needs to stop. This is an entirely different issue from LEO seeking to protect their identity. I don't expect you to understand why, but everyone else will.

Pretty sad when police have to conceal their identity to protect their families, and criminals don’t. Strange world we live in. My BIL is ICE, those who target law enforcement and their families can pretty well burn in hell.

Policing in America is interesting. They directly **** where they eat… imo, it has become all barnie and no Andy. Prevalence of malfeasance doesn’t help sway public opinion (scotty scheffler anyone).

Same with firefighters and the nationwide PFAS contamination. However, that’s a bit unfair as they at least didn’t know they were poisoning everyone’s drinking water (unlike monsanto) and were often the target of the corporate greed.
