Breyer suggests arguing based on the "guns", but then there would be endless appeals of various cases depending on whether the guns were "really dangerous", etc. This is much better; the cops involved can be brought up on whatever administrative charges and defend themselves. In the real world of bad guys, does anyone really think that announcing and knocking does anything but allow crooks to hide evidence and perhaps arm themselves to face the cops? Sometimes libertarians spend too much time worrying about hypothetical rare catastrophies (i.e. that a cop will accidentally break down their door by mistake). A lot like Americans who obsess about the chance of being killed by a terrorist.
