They were living next to a drug dealer, so they must be used to living in a tough neighborhood as it is.

You must not watch the news very much.

My guess are these are trailer trash level people who are seeking a lottery pay day to make their life.

Not my assumption at all. If it happened to me, and I lived through it, I sue until it hurt. I don't live in a trailer (although it wouldn't matter if I did)
I don't play the lottery either.

I've myself mistakenly had several guns drawn on me by law enforcement that was a mistake and I never blamed them based on the knowledge they thought they had. Similar car in my area where I was driving was involved in a robbery. I drove into the area, was not in a robbery and was mistakenly pulled over by the police.

Myself too, only once, and guns were not drawn on me. I also didn't blame them because they were acting like police and really didn't even make a mistake. Similar car, similar looks - they were doing a good job in checking me out.

BOO HOO
It was scary.
It was a mistake.
It is part of getting the bad guys.


I suppose this is where we differ in view. When the police don't behave any different than the bad guys, it is NOT just part of getting the bad guys.
We were getting the bad guys WAY before the police began acting like some kind of para-military terrorist group. It is an ego trip, that is all.
I have a plan that could eliminate virtually all crime. Everyone is required to stay on their own property. Permits are issued for necessary departures from your residence. Anyone off their property without the proper permit is shot on sight. It would work great as a crime fighting tool, but I am not willing to give up what is necessary to accomplish that.
The police have isolated themselves from society by creating, in the last 20 or so years, this us against them atmosphere. Then they gripe that no one respects the officers anymore. I believe that it is totally unnecessary.

Cordially,
GE

They were in the wrong place by accident, but were attempting the to be at the right place with cause.

It was a mistake made while attempting to fulfill law enforcement duties.

In the end, a neighbor was found with all the drugs, so the reason to be out that way was correct, they somehow just got a wrong address and that doesn't happen a lot.

All that should be expected is for law enforcement to learn from this. to fix damage and try not to make the same mistake in that department again.
