I believe that we need laws in every state that say when SWAT teams invade the wrong home and people and things die or are seriously injured, they all need to be fired and their pensions stripped away, and the main leaders of the team need to be brought up on criminal charges.

Seriously. This sh1t happens way too often and there’s just no downside for making lethal or permanent injury mistakes. If it’s important enough to USE a SWAT team for, it’s important enough to gather the proper effing intelligence and double and triple check it.

Surprisingly it seems that no dogs were shot in either of the raids. Did the SWAT team have to go down to the animal shelter afterward to let off a little steam?

I'm impressed that there are people here who think that firing is the right thing to do when the paramilitary police get it wrong. I have a better idea: when the police break into a home not specified in the warrant, they are treated exactly like a non-policeman breaking and entering into a home. They should do jail time, frankly.

And what about the warrant based on bad intel? Well, we have laws on the books about lying to the cops, right? Enforce them.

We don't need new law. We just need to use the ones we already have.

Pretty terrible for that poor old lady.

But this story is still my favorite so far this year:
The U.S. Department of Education issued the search (warrant) and called in the S.W.A.T for his wife’s defaulted student loans.
