More than just die. Countless innocents are terrorized, injured, abused, and suffer the after affects of such an action. A cop in a mistaken raid just says “opps.” Their innocent victims, or very low level criminals, get to deal with the emotional issues of such raids.
You don’t just have masked gunmen smash through your home, and everyone deals with it just fine. Not even guys are immune to the psychological issues, let alone children.
You just posted to a FReeper who was the victim of a SWAT raid
(8 cops)on my house (2006). They pounded on the door, I was about to open it, when they smashed it open, and cuffed me, and placed me on my belly. on the floor. Only the guy they were after, no longer lived there...
They ransacked the house, throwing my stuff all over the floor in every room(8 rooms, 3200 sq.ft.). They wouldn’t listen to anything I told them. The guy they were after sold me the house, had moved away, and they didn’t give a damn! This was nothing but HOME INVASION BY COP.
I didn’t dare try to call my attorney, or anyone else while they were still there. They finally left, after not finding whatever the hell they were looking for.One female cop told me “ I don’t understand why they smashed your door down. We could see that you were unarmed right through the window”.I have never been arrested/detained by the cope in 59 years!
