For the sake of argument, I'll say the guy they wanted WAS under the blanket, awake, and ready to shoot the Police.
From what was known at the time of the shooting: prove me wrong.
Now you’re just making stuff up. The police have acknowledged that he wasn’t on the warrant and that he wasn’t in fact the person they were looking for.
Secondarily, they clearly did act inappropriately. They turned the key and entered immediately barely announcing their presence before they stormed in. This all happened in 5-6 second tops from the time the door opened to the time he was shot. Watch the video and count it off from entry to shots fired. He was completely under the blankets until the last second or so. You think he even had time to comprehend that they were even police?
Now it’s getting out that SPPD didn’t ask for a no-knock warrant. That was An MPD decision. They got both knock and no-knock. And they executed the latter. Why?

Who is making what up?
Watch the timer on the video. It was ~15 seconds from the key turning, and a full 9 seconds between announcement, and the first shot fired.
Tell me where I am wrong:
There was an unknown individual concealed by a blanket on the couch.
Was he sleeping, or concealing himself from the Police? Tell me how you know which.
Tell me how you know his state of being(asleep/ awake), his identity, his ethnicity, or his intent?
The first thing that exposed itself was a pistol.
While it's not illegal to sleep with a loaded gun, what might have happened if, rather than the Police, a roommate would have stumbled into the couch after a night on the town?
Plenty of blame to go around, but the cops in the room were between a rock and a hard place.
from the previously linked article:
After Minneapolis police told St. Paul police that they would not execute the warrant unless it was “no knock,” St. Paul rewrote it and a judge signed off on it, according to law enforcement sources. A Minneapolis police spokesman said Friday he couldn’t comment.
In my mind there's a bunch of cops, and a judge that need to answer some questions.
