The South Metro Drug Task Force, of which I was a member,
obtained a search warrant for a West St. Paul home of an active drug dealer. The search warrant was a "no-knock."
"No-knock" gives the cops the right to ram the door without announcement and introduce themselves with guns drawn.
The drug dealer was a bodybuilder who was known to have a
violent past. We used a SWAT team for the entry. When the team explosively entered the house they found the suspect
standing naked next to a jar of Vaseline and above his anatomically-correct inflatable doll. The team members, being
ever safety conscious, handcuffed the suspect, rolled the doll over on her stomach, and placed the second set of handcuffs
on the doll.
When I entered the house a SWAT team member laughed as he
explained to me that nothing apparently deflates ones 'manhood' faster than looking down the barrel of a fully automatic sub-machine
gun held by a guy dressed in SWAT camouflage.
