The police errored hugely by raiding the wrong house. But evidently it’s City of South Bend and St. Joseph County who are refusing to compensate the innocent home owner. And the damage was significant. From the article:

“When the dust settled, the house was uninhabitable for days. Tear gas saturated everything, glass filled the beds, windows and walls were shattered and mangled. Amy and her family slept in her car. Amy tried to get answers and compensation from the government agencies. But they denied her requests.”

What is their excuse for not compensating?

This can’t be right.

I’ve watched 100 episodes of the S.W.A.T. television show, and not once did they raid the wrong house.

We used to have these people called US Attorneys that would from time to time ARREST AND PROSECUTE Corrupt Cops and Politicians.

Every person involved in this belongs in PRISON FOR LIFE, Including the crackhead Judge that signed the Warrant, They should have been Stripped of All Assets and Locked up that very day.

They broke it, they bought it.

Something similar happened over here in Killeen a few years back. The SWAT team went into Normandy invasion mode and wrecked the whole front of the house - garage door, front door, bay windows, looking for some kid who wasn't even there. And it was a black family. The dad went on camera with local TV stations to say that he and his family support the police, know that they have an important job to do, but did they have to go and do all that idiotic wrecking just looking for one punk kid. All he wanted was for the city to have it fixed back up, that was it. And they DID. Luckily there were no sort of gas or smoke grenades involved, so it was just straight up contractor work to get it back to where it was, meanwhile the family had to go in out through the back patio doors. At least they could still stay there.

She has a claim under Eminent Domain. What happened was a taking and she is due just compensation.

Because they do not LISTEN TO THEIR VICTIMS. Their victims are always wrong, always guilty, and to be completely ignored as subhuman. There wasn’t even one smart one on the scene who might have said “Maybe we better recheck the address, we might be wrong here” based on what their victims were obviously telling them.

Nope, they are never wrong even if they are indeed wrong.

About 20 years ago Lakeland FL PD came to my house, which I had owned for 20 years, and accused me of harboring someone I had never heard of. They were nasty, called me a liar, and treated me like shiat.

I was stupid and tried to be nice and cooperative. Lesson learned. I will never again open my door for a cop without a warrant.

It still raises my blood pressure to recall the demeaning shiat those a$$holes gave me. The worst was a female officer. I should have asked her if her jock strap was chaffing her.

When living in a dark tyranny such as ours, no one can question this SWAT raid without expecting repercussions...

The PoPo swat needs to be exterminated. If the concern is so vast that military tactics need to be used the repercussions should be easy. Hang the war criminals. Otherwise it’s justified. If not everyone involved should hang. Easy. Either everyone will go or not.

She was very fortunate that the Police did not shoot her.

I’m somewhat familiar with South Bend. It’s sort of a $#ithole. It’s not as bad as Gary, IN, obviously. There’s the University of Notre Dame, which is nice. But the city is pretty much sketchy.

I know a Fireman who was chief of a small voulonteer department in Texas
He was given an abandoned house to use for fire training. He had his men set it on fire several times in different places and then go in side and put it out. He did this throughout the day un til it was only safe to let it just burn down.
He never noticed all the food in the fridge, or the pictures on the wall, or the freshly made beds. Finally in the afternoon the family got home and told him he was at the wrong house.
