In fact, at times outright agreement.

A random Googled example: "Police won’t be charged in death of Amir Locke, Black man shot in 'no knock' raid".

I don't remember hearing about that particular one 2-3 years ago--there have been so many. But "raid" wasn't even scare-quoted in that headline. And such, um, executions of search warrants aren't improperly called raids. (There are far worse examples to be sure; the Trump warrant at M-a-L was low key as far as such things can go, but it was invasive, by a small group of people, with no warning, and with the explicit threat of violence, so I'm not averse to the word "raid". It the meaning fits you must admit, so to echo.)

The rest is political spin that dances around the actual use of the word "raid" because of connotations that run counter-spin, but I don't like political spin that's counterfactual. It's too ... um ... Trumpian.
