A home was heavily damaged after an operation to find gang members who are indicted on 97 counts.
SWAT members were looking for Jashavious Keel. He is one of the suspects named in a Chatham County indictment. The district attorney's office said 14 West 61st Street is his last known address.

"He had listed that as his address"
Let me tell you what that means. They arrest some scum, he gives them an address with no proof. They accept it as the gospel (because they are morons) and later use it to destroy innocent people's home, as well as terrorize them. This is real "terroristic threatening". Not some kid with a gun shaped pop tart.
Here is a useful map provided by the CATO Institute:
Botched Paramilitary Police Raids
An Epidemic of “Isolated Incidents”
“If a widespread pattern of [knock-and-announce] violations were shown . . . there would be reason for grave concern.”
—Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, in Hudson v. Michigan, June 15, 2006.

SWAT busts down wrong door

I'll have to remember the local police chief's and mayor's addresses in case I'm ever arrested.
A no-knock or SWAT-style home invasion should have a higher burden of proof than “that’s the address we had on file.” Either that or We The People get to deploy claymores for perimeter defense.
Are the dogs all accounted for?
The only good news is that these Gestapo units are morons. Next time maybe the suspect will list Harry Reid’s address.
But, one of these days, one of these raids is going to eclipse Waco.
What? A SWAT raid and no dead dog? What gives?
Wait...was, uh, Weiner involved in something like this?
Aside from the horror of this gross police injustice is the terrible writing in this piece. Do they teach kids how to write columns today? No, of course they don’t.
I thought the wrigley field bit was funny...

I noticed that also. But I pasted it directly, so I am innocent. /grin
So the ops couldn’t stake out the place or otherwise verify if the perp actually there, before demolishing the home and terrorizing the innocent citizens?
Someone needs to be given their walking papers.
In my view a SWAT team that invades the wrong house should face the sakes charges I would face if I invaded a house. Each individual cop should be prosecuted for breaking and entering, threatening, and unlawful restraint.
This is how the sentence appears on the website. Wow. Just... freakin'... wow.
4am, i thought i read somewhere it was illegal to serve warrants between dusk and dawn...
Thanks for the link.
Looks like the number of Innocents killed is about 3 times the number of nonviolent criminals killed.
Would like to see the data in table form. It is hard to get an accurate count because of similar colors.
This HAS to STOP.
And my sister-in-law's lowlife of an ex-shack up from 20 years ago uses our house as an address even though he never lived here.
Criminals lie.
