I bet the guy down the street figured it out and left toot sweet!
It’s not a mistake. It’s “shock trooping.”
What is it about cops and family dogs?
All of the officers should be summarily Fired no exceptions, No Retirement, no benefits.
There has got to be a lawyer out there who will sue the DEA and NY for as much money as can be had. If the agencies involved get sued enough times, and the individuals in these raids sued personally enough times, they will be much more careful in their stormtrooping, shock and awe raids.
This kind of stuff needs to be investigated.
Until cops start having their pay docked for stupidity....will this type of accident stop. All the cops on this episode should see half their paycheck for three months docked. Personally...I’d like to see a judge now assigned to each invasion of privacy and forced to barge in with the cops....and maybe put his re-election to his county or state judge position up for notice if he screwed up.
The only thing that talks is money. Sue the town into bankruptcy, and other towns will take notice. So sad that the Constitutional liberties so many fought and died for are carelessly trampled on.
Perhaps this is an emotional reaction, but the frequency and savagery of these stories is making me consider arguments legalizing drugs. I wonder if the “cure” is becoming worse than the disease.
Meanwhile illegals, drugs, and weapons flow freely over our borders. But I guess the DEA would rather focus on terrorizing an 8 year old and a family. (Exactly how long did it take before it dawned on these jackboot dim bulbs they were at the wrong house?)
This is just a preview of the police state to come.
Close enough for government work.
There are many ways to verify addresses. There don’t seem to be any excuses for mistakes of this sort.
That should be improved on, that is a horrible mistake, but if you stop enforcing the law you will turn the country into an episode of “Escape From New York”.
I live nearby. FWIW, Spring Valley is, um, well, let’s just say, you live there because you have to.
This family lucked out. The SWAT goons only threatened to shoot the dog. I’m sure they’ll get a reprimand from their superiors for not following through.
