"Death of Breonna Taylor
On March 13, 2020, Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old African American emergency medical technician, was shot eight times to death by Louisville Metro Police Department officers Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove who entered her apartment in Louisville, Kentucky, while serving a "no-knock warrant".Wikipedia"
 
"English common law has required law enforcement to knock-and-announce since at least Semayne's case (1604), and in Miller v. United States (1958), the Supreme Court of the United States recognized that police must give notice before making a forced entry.[1] In the U.S. federal criminal law, the rule generally requiring knock-and-announce is codified at 18 U.S.C § 3109.[2]"
