Wikipedia: Is a site that anyone can make entries of any nature. But I'm alright with what you quoted. These do occur. But again, you kind of drive my point home with yubba.
Well I started to post individual news articles but found the wiki article had a nice set of examples. There are many many more not included.

I do agree however that the likelihood of this happening to you or me is low but given the huge increase in no knock raids...

The number of no-knock raids has increased from 3,000 in 1981 to more than 50,000 in 2005, according to Peter Kraska, a criminologist at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Kentucky.[1] Raids that lead to deaths of innocent people are increasingly common; since the early 1980s, 40 bystanders have been killed, according to the Cato Institute in Washington, DC.[1]
...the possibility is increasing.
