It is perhaps relevant that this story is not reporting facts.
It is reporting claims in a lawsuit by people who have been coached by attorneys. And we all know attorneys and their clients are always entirely truthful.
Do I believe this could have happened exactly as claimed? Sure, and I also believe it could be greatly exaggerated or even invented completely.
There is no way to form an opinion just from this story.
Well, one fact seams certain. They raided the wrong house.
You are correct. The lawyers and family will spin this any way that will benefit them. Potentially, there could be a lot of money on the line.
But these days I have doubts about taking the word of the cops. Unless they have non-cop corroborating witnesses or video and recordings, I wouldn’t believe darn thing they say.
At least they didn’t shoot any dogs or stomp any cats.
