Read the entire fiasco. It actually was the right address but the person they were looking for hadn't lived there in two years. The family had told the police that fact several times before. And the baby didn't have pneumonia, he has chemical pneumonitis, which is inflammation in the lungs, irritation in the lungs due to exposure to the chemicals and smoke.

RedState needs a better headline editor and cops need to double-check their information before busting down doorways and throwing smoke bombs into homes. Why wasn't the computer info updated on one of the previous 5 visits to the house?

Unionized government employees.

[frank ballenger]

Good points. The art of editing has died out. We are left with half truths and absurd errors.

[maddog55]

In this caseLEO definitely F’d up and need to be held responsible. Not necessarily the folks doing the raid but the I tell azzholes that told them where to hit

Total breakdown in intelligence.

[Candor7]

Did that SWAT team have its budget cut or “defunded?”

[null and void]

Years back, San Jose PD dropped a flashbang in a baby’s crib.

Oopsie...

[Responsibility2nd]

Well to be fair, the baby refused all orders to “GET ON THE GROUND. GET ON THE F-G GROUND NOW!!”

[silent majority rising]

Don’t they ever knock on the door any longer?

[AndyJackson]

SWAT Team .... Denies Responsibility

We are in utter agreement. They are irresponsible.

[Leaning Right]

Old saying: Back the blue until it happens to you.
New saying: Back the blue until they throw a flashbang grenade at you.

Is that a bit unfair? Maybe. But something is seriously wrong with policing in this country. Liberals have always complained about that. But now conservatives are complaining, too. That says something.

[Ikeon]

Thank you for clarifying. she said they had been there 5 the times.

Its worth a lawsuit if they kept coming to the same address.

the officer who asked for the search warrant and the officer who ok'd the swat team looking for " a boy" should also be investigated and reprimanded.

[Nextrush]

Two political parties both glorify government employees one party loves the teachers and social workers and has a D and the other loves the soldiers and the cops and has an R.

The moral of this story is that government has gotten too big and too mighty, too self-righteous and too powerful.

And that the main political parties are based on support from different factions of Big Government.

[Mariner]

Outlaw no-knock warrants in accordance with the Constitution.

Eliminate Qualified Immunity for police.

Publicly hang the Nazis who did this.

[Bernard]

Why wasn't the computer info updated on one of the previous 5 visits to the house?

Perhaps the person who is supposed to change addresses for things like that is also responsible for updating voter registration lists as well.

The Cops did the same thing to a family in Georgia years ago. Where they threw a flash bang grenade into a crib where an infant was sleeping. The individual they were seeking had left the residence years ago and was not related to the resident. This information could have been ascertained through a check.

[Gaffer]

I remember something like this happening years and years ago from a situation just like this. Maimed a baby in a crib.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Sounds like a case in West Virginia. The cops had been to the house several times looking for someone that might have lived there in the past but had not been there for years. Not believing the family they decided to break in while the family was not there to do a warrant less search with guns out. Their brilliant idea was to say the front door was standing open, in the middle of winter with snow on the ground, and they were just doing a wellness check, because that is totally something that US Marshals do.

Sadly for them the family had inside video surveillance with sound and so the world has been treated to the sight of two battle clad US Marshals searching through a baby's bedroom with their guns OUT and making comments about the family.

It was not a good look but at least no one was hurt. That time.

[nonliberal]

Police are becoming domestic terrorists.

[Eagles6]

Good Lord!

Every one of those cops belong in jail!

They've been there 5 times and knew he didn't live there, anymore.

Looks like and fbi raid to capture a "J6 White Supremacist Insurrectionist"

What the hell did a 14 year old do to warrant such a response?

[eyeamok]

NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW

If the President does NOT have any kind of Immunity for Official Acts in Office, then NOBODY HAS ANY IMMUNITY.

Prosecute every last person involved, 30 years should do
