Worth noting that the state rep whose arrest the union chief tweeted out is responsible for "Breonna's Law," a bill pending in the KY lege that would ban no-knock warrants.
Which, to me, is the best response to this: prevent these situations from even being able to happen.

Accountability after harms happen is essential. That didn't happen here.
But in terms of preventing future deaths and other harms, after-the-fact punishments imposed randomly and infrequently (esp for police) won't really shape behavior during the moment.
So elim the moment.

And this doesn't have to be limited to no-knock warrants.
We already give speeding tickets and red-light violations based just on cameras.
So with dash-cams, deny police right to stop for certain driving/car violations. Take the pic, mail the ticket.
Confrontation gone.

There are surely other places too where, even absent shifting responsibility from police to non-police agencies, we can limit and restrict police interactions with people. Fewer interactions, fewer opportunities for harm--including to the police officers as well.
