Here's a map, complete with documented news sources, of botched paramilitary police actions all around the country from 1985 onwards. I haven't crunched the numbers much, but we're looking at 296 entries. I know there's at least one duplicate, but that's still a hell of a lot of wrong addresses and innocents killed.
The quote from Hudson v. Michican is rather appropriate, I think: "If a widespread pattern of [knock-and-announce] violations were shown . . . there would be reason for grave concern."
