Apparently the Chesapeake Police Department likes to perform no knock raids in the middle of the night at the house of people with no priors or history of violence. All of this because the guy was allegedly (based on questionable testimony) growing marijuana.
Turns out it was a Japanese maple, something which has a resemblance to ganja.

This, among other things, is what I find particularly disturbing: "In the case where a citizen mistakenly (and allegedly) shot through his door at a raiding police officer, the citizen is facing a murder charge; in the case where a raiding police officer mistakenly shot through a door and killed a citizen, there were no criminal charges."
