I read the story and have this comment:
The police had an affiant on the purchase of meth at the residence, and I assume the name of the person who sold it.

What sic SWAT on a house with children present and with a no-knock warrant?

Do you contend that was a good thing?


Based on the CNN articles statement that the SWAT raid was motivated by the visit of an informant who had been in the house that evening to buy methamphetamine and the testimony of the babies own parents that they took the baby into a separate room and closed the door when drug buyers were in the house to buy drugs so people would not know there was a child in the meth house I would contend that the informant never saw the baby, was unaware there even was a baby in the house and thus was unable to inform police of presence of a child in the house.

You may draw your own conclusions if you wish, and I suspect your mind may already be made up irreversibly on the topic.

They could pick this person up when he is out and about, or even raid the house when the other residents are all out and about.

I guess this would take some actual police work instead of slam-bang SWAT tactics
