The angle he was going for was to try and use the situation to push a bill he introduced banning no knock raids.
Thing Is I actually agree with him in general that no knock raids are bad and unnecessarily dangerous, the problem is that he lied about the details.
The raid wasn't even a no knock raid, the cops didn't just kick the door down and go in guns blazing, in reality the cops knocked and announced themselves as police before entering and then Breonna's dumb-ass drug dealer boyfriend shot at them and got her hit in the crossfire, he's the reason why she's dead.
It pisses me off to have to defend cops because fuck em in general, but they clearly didn't do what Rand was trying to claim they did.
