Oh, and what do you think the odds are that any punishment is handed down for this?
Punishment? There is adequate punishment for a screw-up like this. You go to court, and demand fifty percent of their operations budget for the next ten years for the kid, and then you start to require a county judge to actually accompany teams out to a home. You start to put the judge into the seat that if a screw-up occurs....he goes to jail for a year or two. At that point, all of this SWAT-play stuff starts to end....no one will sign for a raid.

It will cost Billings taxpayers a few million..
About the same as the sun rising in the west. If I was betting, I would pick the sun rising in the west to put my money on.
