When police officers shattered his window and used a battering ram to enter his home, Duncan Lemp’s worst fears had come true. On New Year’s Eve, Montgomery County’s state attorney office issued an official report absolving police for the killing of the 21-year-old gun owner after he was awakened during a no-knock raid on March 12. The report proffered a nothing-to-see-here-move-along verdict. Lemp’s mother, Mercedes Lemp, commented: “I will always wonder whether the police intended to kill Duncan from the start — there was never a search, never any regard for our family — the way they conducted themselves seems as if they intended to kill him even before the raid began.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/policing/2021/02/02/police-killing-shows-dangers-swat-no-knock-raids-column/4296067001
