Asked if the mistake will generate any policy or procedural changes within the department, Davenport said: "We are going to review what happened and make a decision on what to do in the future." Why should a cop who conducts a raid which is not even facially authorized by a warrant be regarded as anything other than an armed home-invasion robber? Start holding cops accountable and I don't think it will take long before they start insisting upon checking certain details of any raid in which they take part.

Exactly. I can not believe the people who are posting the family should be grateful the police TRIED to raid a criminal's house and instead terrorized a citizen and his family.
Pathetic. I think this is exactly WHY we have a constitution and this country. King George and ilk were doing this sort of stuff so the founders left and came to America to get away from that..
According to Jefferson the rule of law applies even more to the government than the individual citizen. I hope they sue and win big.
