They made a bad mistake, and again that office should review all there procedures and look into how a wrong address got busted into.

Someone needs to be potentially fired.
If there was injury, then some money damages need to be made from he city.

That said, the law is being upheld by imperfect humans and mistakes have and will be made.
They have to do their best to make no mistakes if they can.

...police proceeded to strike her epileptic husband in the head with the butt end of a shotgun and point shotguns at her young children before admitting their mistake and then raiding the right apartment...

A mistake?!??

The law is being "upheld" by jackboots, who tend to raid more houses these days. That because CAF laws net them lots of cash to buy cool paramilitary gear....especially since they don't really have to prove *anything* before they can seize *everything*.

That is 100% true...which is why the Founders set up strict Constitutional limits on government in the first place.

You may disagree, but I don't believe the Founders would approve of these neverending violations of the principle that a man's home is his castle. It's one of the oldest precepts of English Common Law -- and in my opinion, the castle principle cannot co-exist with the idea of widespread, militarized police raids.

It's become obvious that we can have one or the other -- but not both.

No, the law that allows law enforcement to use such tactics in ordinary circumstances violates our rights and needs to be put to a stop immediately.

Then they should just hang out at the station house until somebody calls them. That's the way it used to be.
