(KUTV) Four months ago, Salt Lake City Police mistakenly raided the house of a senior citizen looking for drugs. The Police Chief apologized, but now, the woman is still waiting for an explanation on how the mistake could happen.
Salt Lake Police busted through the front door of the home on October 3 looking for an alleged drug dealer, but instead, they found a 76-year-old woman.
Officials say the woman was in her nightgown, making sweets for a church function the following Sunday, when police kicked in her door and held her at gunpoint.

Drugs are bad. The drug war is worse. Legalize them all and let the chips fall where they may.

No wonder. She probably looks like Christopher Dorner. Does she drive a pickup truck on her paper route?

Do they ever knock on the door and hand the homeowner a warrant any more?

Try a warrent bozo’s. You tend not to be shot going in the door by some innocent person.
When did warrents morph into flash bang grenades in the intelectualy challenged sect of the protect and serve bunch?

A replacement for her front door?
To: Arthurio
Interesting. The police bust down a door looking for a drug dealer. They find a 76 year old woman in a bathrobe baking cookies... and their response is to hold her at gunpoint. None of those bright bulbs are going to make detective.
