I am attempting to not judge beyond the facts available - I said it is possible that someone other than old lady did something to merit a search of the house and I don't see how, given current info that one can argue that is not a possibility.
I'm with you on that. We don't know a lot of stuff. I am willing to discuss suspicions, but anybody that thinks they have the answer to this at this point is just not firing on all cylinders.
I have an opinion, but it is based on such scant evidence that it could change at the drop of a hat.
"I am attempting to not judge beyond the facts available"
As it turns out, you are correct.
The early reports said that it was based on a tip, which can be notoriously unreliable. But it wasn't a tip that sent them there, undercover officers did a buy at the house earlier in the day.
Now that we know the undercover guys went in the house earlier, that begs a whole other set of questions about the way they approached the raid.
