Very interesting. Does anyone have a link to a direct story about Vang winning a $600,000 dollar lawsuit. I think it is highly significant because he used a shotgun to great effect to protect his house from the police, who invaded it because of making a mistake about an address.

One of the primary purposes of a warrant is to insure that the property owner would know that the search is official, and not just some pretext. Obviously, that purpose is ignored when the police break into a place without allowing the residents to respond and inspect the warrant before allowing the officers entry.

It’s interesting that the police response to a domestic call is a “raid.” Why not just call in an airstrike?

let’s compare your earlier thread about a hero cop killed in the line of duty to this thread. Think it’ll get more than 16 posts?

My impression is they thought that somebody was breaking into their house," Scott County Sheriff Kevin Studnicka said

Now why would they think that? Oh right, someöne was.

On a related not, I wonder if any studies have been done to calculate what the percentage of police calls, and expense are that are related to “Domsestic Disputes”. My guess will be well over a third, and even more for the evening shifts.
