Can they be sued?

As an ex-lawyer, let me tell you ABSOLUTELY. They have a line of lawyers waiting to help them do just that.

He had a single-thickness wooden door that could be shot through. So, hardly. Others might or will try to have fortresses, though.

Amendment 3: No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Since it is a WAR on Drugs, shouldn't this little gem apply?

get a pistol in 762x25. I tested them, 45, 38, 357 and 9mm on an old 80’s vintage flak vest. The only ones that went through were the 762x25’s. Not sure what they would do on a more modern system of soft body armor.

That little 13 year old girl will not get over this quickly, if ever. Stupid bastards, no excuses.

Obscurity doesn’t protect you when the SWAT thugs are destined to show up at the wrong address. Which they tend to do in an epidemic of isolated incidents.

Are people going to have to start building fortress houses to prevent or at least slow entry by the Special Weapons and Thuggery teams?


Crossbars and wedgepoles are becoming more common.

Replacing all eexterior doors with steel doors with steel frames and high and low dead bolts.

Since the Congress no longer declares war, just the current ‘Puppet in Chief’, no.

I don’t know why the press lets these cops off the hook by using the word “mistakenly” when it is pretty clear that they did intentionally bust into this particular house and they did intentionally threaten and harass these particular people.

Law enforcement is nothing but publicly financed street gangs.

It's nice to know that demagoguery is alive and well.

Usually it's the purvey of Lefties, but I guess you believe in equal opportunity.

Let's see:

Breaking and entering, assault, kidnapping, threatening with deadly weapons, trespassing.

It's a long list of felonies...

...that the police committed.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

If they served the warrant on the wrong house (the warrant was for another address) then they should be disciplined by their superiors for incompetence prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I fixed that. If the result of kicking the wrong door down resulted in a couple of decades looking at the criminal justice system from the inside for every cop involved, every address subject to an unconstitutional no knock raid would be triple checked by every cop involved, relieving us of that part of these nightmares, at least.

The raid was part of drug trafficking investigation that involved over 200 federal and local officers and has so far led to the arrest of 26 people across New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, officials said. The DEA believes they are responsible for distributing more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana since 2006

Well, at least you presumably can't buy any weed in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania now.
