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.

Totally agree with you.

[Immerito]

Agreed. If the only way to stop this wrong house nonsense is to fire EVERYONE involved in planning, researching and/or implementing a raid on a wrong house, then so be it.

I have a more radical idea.
End the unconstitutional war on drugs and restore the 4th amendment.

You have to go up the chain of command..the one that planned it, the one that didn't do do diligence in checking out the house, the leader of the SWAT team, the judge that issued the warrent on either lies or misinformation needs to be also part of the clean up of the whole situation..Those that followed orders and assumed the above was properly done, are of a lesser degree responsible...It starts at the top with the commander..

Too many of these guys think they are super cops. There is no excuse for sloppy work when you are the ones carrying guns and flash bangs and tear gas.... Yep, the firing starts at the top....

IMO, Swat teams need to be outlawed, period. As for entering the wrong home, arrests should be made and people terminated regardless if the residents of the dwelling were injured or not. No knock warrants also need to be declared unconstitutional. The judges who allowed these travesties of justice to begin with should be doing jail time. There is nothing in the constitution to justify no knock raids or “probable cause” searches.

Every cop involved in a wrong address raid should be prosecuted for illegal entry, breaking and entering, kidnapping, committing a felony while armed, etc, etc, etc, etc. I’ll bet you wouldn’t need to do that more than twenty times before every cop is triple checking the address and the wrong addres raids STOP.
