The worst part of this story is that the DEA states that no guns were drawn and that it was a ‘knock and talk’ raid.
(DEA Spokesman) Mulvey confirmed that officers went to McKay’s home at 36 Sharon Drive but said it was a “knock and talk. She could not fully explain why they would go to 36 Sharon Drive if they knew the person they were looking for was at a different address.
David McKay said the DEA’s version of events is “baloney.”
“They just don’t want to admit that they made a mistake,” he said.”
The saddest part is the you can’t even trust the officers to be honest after the fact.
Notice how the DEA Agent in Charge avoids the issue with this ‘apology’.
“We sincerely regret that while attempting to execute an arrest warrant for a member of this drug trafficking organization, the innocent McKay family was inadvertently affected by this enforcement operation,” Gilbride said.
I hope David McKay keeps after these people until they are held accountable for their atrocious and unacceptable actions.
The people have got to start fighting back against these incidents and sending the message that we're not going to tolerate these unconstitutional intrusions anymore.
In the "he said/she said" talk between McKay and the DEA, I have no doubt that Mckay is the one telling the truth.
I looked this up on Google Earth. It appears to be an apartment complex.

63 Sharon Drive is a few doors down.
You don't suppose?
