I'm just sayin.
Victory is a rural community in Upstate New York where pistols require a permit but long guns are very common.
At least they didn’t have any dogs to shoot.
“In my neck of the woods...we are required to stake out the house...get a written description of the residence...verify everything...take it to supervisor...before even applying for a search warrant...been in law enforcement for 20 years...never had a wrong residence hit....”
Mine was slightly different. I foreclosed on a house, and moved in to fix it up. Same smasked doors....cuffed me, and put me on a freezing floor, while they ransacked the house, and left it a shambles. Nobody would listen to me explain that the previous owner no longer lived there.
“If the war on drugs were dropped, we wouldn’t have any of this non-sense. Neither innocent people nor cops would be put into these situations.”
Oh yes you WOULD! These are not all for drug raids.
Not by a long shot.
“If LEO’s lost their job and had to pay restitution for these “mistakes”, they would do their homework and make fewer wrong entries.”
I don’t want them to lose their jobs for this without a chance at rehabilitation. Ten lashes with the Cat-o-Nine-Tails should do it for the first offense.
There is a federal civil rights statute which is designed specifically to obtain redress for such federal constitutional violations perpetrated by state or local government officials.
Hopefully, some attorney or law firm will aid Mr. Skinner in filing a federal suit against the perpetrators for all the damages suffered. And yes, violations of constitutional rights can carry a monetary price tag as well as property or physical or emotional damages.
Constitutionalists and libertarians must encourage and aid in any way they can American citizens who suffer abuses of their constitutional rights from government officials at any level - federal, state, county, or municipal - in seeking legal redress for their deprivations. And we must be persistent at it, until courts are more responsive to these cases.

Oh hurray, they will apologize. That makes it OK?
Fire them all, and forfeit their pensions. The existing pensions will fund the victim’s damages and lawsuit winnings so the people who effed up will be accountable.
Seriously.
Anytime SWAT does this crap. They’re done. And hard jail time if they murder innocent people. Enough.
This has little to do with Obama. SWAT teams all across the country have been raiding wrong homes, shooting dogs, murdering innocent people believing they home is being invaded (which it truly is) and then not admitting mistakes, leaving with no apologies or any info as to claim damages.
It’s been going on for over 30 years.
Read State Dept Publication 5277 Freedom From War. It’s about establishing internal paramilitary forces for countries. The regular armies go under the world government, but internal security forces will deal with internal conflicts. that is what it is really all about. War on drugs is largely a cover/plausible denial issue. Many of them believe they are doing it for war on drugs, just gives it all more credibility.

absolutely right!!!
Is this the same Rochester police force who pulled this stunt?
Randy Weaver was under Bush I and the Waco siege started under Bush I. The police state is bipartisan. Don't think so? Name a single time a bad SWAT raid or dog shooting was mentioned on talk radio or Fox News. Name a Republican who criticized the militarization of police.
No, our wonderful rulers all across the spectrum love the police state. And so do the voters.
WARNING: UNINVITED ENTRY INTO THESE PREMISES MAY BE FATAL.
I left Rochester, too, just before the economy of the area collapsed. 2000.
