This knee-jerk anti-cop ranting is what is inexcusable. If you read the article, you will see that they are not denying responsibility and left instructions how to be reimbursed for any damage.
The instructions say she has to pay for the repairs and then they’ll reimburse her afterwards.
If she doesn’t have $10K laying around, she’s SOL.
you will see that they are not denying responsibility
That is an out and out LIE and you know it, if they were taking responsibility, they would ALL BE IN JAIL, their Assets would have already been siezed, and the County would have a contractor fixing everything in this ladies house TODAY!
The PERSON that SWORE out the Warrant belongs in PRISON FOR LIFE! All the Accomplices 10-15 hard time, 100% Civil Asset Forfeiture for every last person involved including the Judge that Signed the Warrant.
I agree. Folks here will slam 0bama for inflaming the war on cops, then spout the very same nonsense here. Logic and reason appear to be lost attributes with today's FReeper. Makes me sick.
That' it? Oops is all the homeowner gets? No apology, no guard, no explanation, nothing but... left instructions?
I really liked and supported Peace Officers, now they are LEO's and I support them not so much. They are just an armed branch of the IRS, separate and apart.
They should apologize to her and front her money to get repairs started. They should have secured her property (door and fence) when they found out they were in the wrong place.
These are basic expectations of decency and responsibility. I can see how mistakes could happen - rarely. But this is rude crude and unacceptable abuse of this poor woman.
Had this raid resulted in a citizen’s death as has happened many timea, exactly how would have any ‘instructions’ have restored life to their dead carcass? These types of SWAT raids are inexcusable under almost any circumstances in a free country. If they have a warrant, they can serve it by knocking on the door like civilized people, not a bunch of wannabe stormtroopers. They are unnecessarily creating situations where people are put in grave danger for no real reason other than they want to play soldier with their toys.
yes they did.
She has to pay for the damages up front and then submit the bills for reimbursement. What is their average turn around time on reimbursement?
And why didn't they leave someone there to guard the house that they left open? Was it so they could claim that most or all of the damages were not done by them but by some random stranger?
Mighty white of them.
Now who’s resigning and who’s being fired?

Not denying responsibility don’t mean squat. Janet Reno took full responsibility for burning live children to death at Mt. Carmel.
This knee-jerk anti-cop ranting is what is inexcusable.
The cops will get around to you knee-jerk cop suckers soon enough.
