Too bad he didnt give them 16oo Pennsylvania Avenue WASHINGTON DC as his 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.
An interactive map of botched SWAT and paramilitary police raids, released in conjunction with the Cato policy paper “Overkill: The Rise of Paramilitary Police Raids,” by Radley Balko.
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?
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.
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...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.
So if a criminal were to list his address as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue would they take the time to ascertain the veracity, much less his actually being at that address and at that time?
Or are they just using AR’s and flash bangs on their fishing expeditions?
Even fisherman have more intelligence as to the probability of fish being in the area they cast.
Let me tell you what that means. They arrest some scum, he gives them an address with no proof.

Assault lawyers. Lots of exceedingly hungry assault lawyers with no scruples whatever.
Let them raid the wrong house and get shot and killed and watch the supporters start screaming to high Heaven.
Jashavious, now that is a great name.
“SWAT members were looking for Jashavious Keel”
How in the hell do people come up with these names? Do they take a hand full of scrabble tiles, throw them in the air and just copy down the letters no matter what order they are in?
Conservatives and Tea Party members could be making GIGANTIC inraods with the under 30 crowd by leading the charge against these obscene power abuses and making it know that they are leading the charge and are among the only people willing to take actual initiative on this. The increasing gov’t intrusion on individual liberty is a much more severe issue for millennials than one might think. There are certainly way more millennials than you might think who care way more about this than, say, global warming.
