Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam on Wednesday signed police reform legislation that includes a ban on no-knock warrants, making the state the third in the country to outlaw no-knock, forcible-entry raids frequently used by law enforcement to serve narcotics search warrants.

The move comes as the March shooting death of Breonna Taylor at the hands of Louisville, Kentucky, police has prompted state and local governments across the nation to take steps to rein in the controversial police tactic.

I would assume because fearmongering right wing politicians and media outlets framing it as "anti police" and lax on crime.

Good.  They are extremely dangerous for law enforcement and those inside whatever place they are raiding.

Police unions are extremely powerful, unfortunately.
