So, apparently their information was faulty on multiple fronts.

Either that or their stupidity gave the occupants of the right apartment the opportunity to escape.

I'm sorry, but nearly every tactic involved here is simply not consistent with a free society, nor a mistake.

Who says we live in a "free" society anymore?

“Pennyamon remains unconvinced it was a mistake. She says officers told her they had “raided the house before” and she believes they felt entitled to do it again — warrant or not.”

We need to publicly humiliate these officers on national TV. They are aparently too stupid to understand anything else.

Before forfeit laws.

Sure.

The goons posing as LEOs these days have turned Blackstone upside down.

They'd rather let ten innocent men suffer rather than let one guilty man go free.

This is the basis of all no-knock raids.

I got wrongfully pulled over for no reasons with guns drawn and I did not look to tackle the police.

Didn't you say earlier that your car matched the description of the perp?

Your situation would only be similar if you drove a black Chevy and the cops were looking for a white Ford.

They didn't read it right, but KNEW they were at the wrong place.

No, they didn't read it so they DIDN'T know they were at the wrong address.

It isn't as if an epileptic could help at times how they move, right?

That epileptic really should have known better, eh?

“We hate to waste a trip. Can we shoot your dog?”

We had a local story where the police knock down some old guy’s living room door at his apartment looking for a gang-banger drug dealer. The old man splains the guy moved out from next door about a month ago. They apologize and proceed to knock down the next door.....which was the door to the old man’s bedroom. The old man told the newspaper “After that, they looked really sad and just drove off”.

“You’re fired is too lenient.

How about “You’re indited” and “You’re convicted” and “You’re sentenced”

Why isn’t this breaking and entering? Why are there no charges for possession of a firearm while in the comission of a felony? Why no assault and battery?

Where does their immunity come from given that terrorizing inicident parties is not an official aspect of their jobs?

Because their friend, the DA won't indict them and their other friend, the judge wouldn't convict them.

Twenty-nine and 6 children...

But, if lawsuits happen correctly, and this BS stops; in NY, and especially if this trickles down to NYC, this woman’s name will go down in history as having started the avalanche that took down New York’s police state and Communist firearms laws.

And I’d buy her a beer.

There, I finally said it.

Hell, dont be shy...

In gilbos world, if my family were to be harmed by such a scenario, God would need to restrain the calculated destruction of any and all participants of the invasion...

everytime I see these stories, my blood runs cold at the prospect of 'life as I know it' being instantly transformed into a one dimensional huntin trip...

Oh well, my file just had a few pages added...

LFOD...

another maxim would be...

'if it saves one child/citizen...'

there is no reason to risk my familys life for a couple bags of dope that my neighbor might have in his house...

Doom on the morons if it happens here...

If you have 10 muzzles pointing at you because you owe $100 on your taxes, it might be excessive force.

Buffalo Police batter their way into wrong house

This appears to be a photograph of one of an undercover Buffalo Police agent attempting to wrestle one of the unruly beasts to the ground. The cruel brute appears to be actually enjoying his chance to savage the animal.

That’s a distinct possibility, but we’ll never know for sure, as I’m certain that they are in full-blown CYA mode.
