This is an interesting story, because it raises an interesting question that some people involved with law enforcement might be able to answer - if you are going to raid a house, or a building, but it's not exactly clear which is the right building to raid, what is the usual procedure?

The usual procedure is kill them all and let God sort them out.

I see the FR search engine is still a joke.

Just another case of "Armed and Freakin Dangerous".
Local cop swat teams should be disbanded.
This is what happens when the fedgov gives these little tin horns all that surplus gear.
These bubbas aren't going to sit around and not play with it.
Just like here in the Burgh yesterday, you would have thought it was another 9/11 instead of a guy clearing pigeons with a bb gun.
Instead of sending a seasoned uniformed unit to check it out, they upset the WHOLE DAMN CITY!! IDIOTS!!
Get RID of these teams and let the state troopers, who are far more professional, have a team or two that needs the governors nod to deploy.

Well, like many freepers have agreed in the past, no tyranny is too great and no freedom is sacred if giving up that freedom means one person might not get high.
And you can damned well bet that if granny had been popping a couple extra painkillers under the table, the cops would have booked her for it even though it was the wrong house.

I really hate this stuff. I hate the ninja-geared dynamic-entry small-town SWAT bulls--t. Way too often, the cops would rather 'get some' in a midnight no knock dynamic entry raid than do boring, methodical police work. Barf!

Also raises another question. If the police break down a door in a wrongfull raid and an officer is shot and killed by the occupant but the homeowner isn't, would it be possible that homeowner be vindicated?

This type of inexcusable incident should incur a visit and investigation by the local FBI office and subsequent felony charges.

"It was the wrong house," Beshears said. "The house was totally dark WHAT A LOAD OF BOVINE EXCREMENT OF AN EXCUSE -- WHASSA MATTER, NOT ENOUGH FLASHLIGHTS???
Beshears said the woman received a dislocated shoulder and the man received bruised ribs.I've noticed that old folks do not recover very well after breaking a bone. I hope these folks did not sustain broken bones, since these initial reports are sometimes inaccurate.
Why did these old folks resist the cops?
Or were the cops out of control when they entered the home in a dangerous dynamic entry?

They were probably a couple of old hippies and deserved it anyway. The cops should have shot them to teach the old potheads a lesson.

By the way, Haley Barbour, where are you? Want to stand up for justice and make some fast political hay in the bargain? Call to the MS Attorney General and have him call these thugs with badges on the carpet. That would warm the hearts of millions around the country and show that you are a man of true character.

Excellent question.
The only explanation that comes to my mind is that they didn't want to pay overtime two nights in a row for the same raid. However, in the long run, I suspect this will cost them much more in both dollars and respect.

"Obviously, a mistake was made and it was regrettable," he said. "But, I stand by my officers. I think they acted properly." Police Chief Whaley just made the case for his own removal from office. That has to me one of the most ridiculous and insulting statements ever...
