In the middle of the night there is a reasonable explanation as to the mix up of addresses involved, and that is most likely what happened.

You're telling me that the police getting the wrong address in a middle-of-the-night raid where they're invading somebody's home at gunpoint is EXCUSABLE?

I don't care how dark it was or how poorly marked the addresses, unless the innocent victims had the wrong number painted on their house this should NEVER have happened. It's not like an officer accidentally hitting a pedestrian in a frantic firefight with twelve armed thugs. They had plenty of time, plenty of administrative and city information resources AND THE RESPONSIBILITY to get it right, not just go, uh, this looks like it's probably the place, let's send in a s***load of guns and take down whoever we find in there.

Somebody needs to be in the unemployment line, and if I were on the jury I'd be very sympathetic to the victims of this completely incompetent raid. We can't treat this crap lightly. And never mind the fact that the victims here were lucky this time -- next time somebody may well get killed. And it could be you or one of your family members.

Hey Luke, you been off that oxygen a little too long. I wrote it was "understandable", not excusable! I suggest you read things a little closer before castigating someone. I also wrote the folks involved should be fired, transferred, etc, as a result of this screw up. You would be doing us all a favor by responding as to what we write, not by what you think we wrote! :0 )
