I believe LEOs are protected by some law and cannot be sued for “accidents” that happen on duty.
There's a doctrine of qualified immunity that's subject to wide interpretation in some jurisdictions.

We've had threads about no-knock warrants and possible police over-reach before. They usually end badly.

Let's remember that the article could be biased, and it could have its facts wrong. Let's also strive to avoid baseless bashing or "if they kick in my door, Imma gun 'em down" silliness.
