Combs' legal team condemned the raids as excessively aggressive and maintained his innocence. "Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated," Aaron Dyer, an attorney for Combs, told The Daily Mail.
Retired NYPD detective Derrick Parker, formerly of the "Hip Hop Cops," suggested that Combs' influence might have previously protected him from scrutiny. Parker hinted at a possible informant within Combs' circle propelling the federal investigation.
