More on the story.
Agents were buying meth at the house but kids were kept out of sight.
Baby was visiting. Placed in portable crib which blocked door.
When agents couldn’t open door (no-knock) they tossed in flash grenade.
Why would they push the crib up against the front door where a drug deal had occurred earlier?
Why in hell couldn’t the agents make an arrest at the time they purchased it? SWAT teams and no knock raids is ridiculous. They should be only used for hostage situations, etc.

That flashbang wasn’t appropriate even without a child. While more sensational because it is a child, it is no less wrong had it been a 30yo man or even the suspect.
This is a dangerous device that has no business being used unless violence was offered first. This is not the first time a person has been harmed but that military grade weapon.
