The only thing I can say is, that most of the blame for that should be placed on the States Attorney and the investigative officer(s).
So basically you are saying the entry team can successfully plead the Nuremberg Defense and be absolved of any responsibility, no matter what level of violence and death results of their efforts.
Since it appears that this "blunt" object has zero responsibility or common sense, it follows that even a "warrant" scratched out on the back of a McDonald's receipt would also be considered a valid order to smash down a fellow American's property and put their lives in immediate jeopardy.
Your comments are absolutely no different from excusing some drug cartel enforcers from butchering a family because they did it on orders from on high.
I think you are being rather pig headed.
Police swat teams do not do the research on the crime; they are sent out to get the suspect. It’s not their fault if they are given the wrong address but they get the hate and blame for it.
Brent said the swat teams are being used too much. That is no the decision of the swat team can make. Go after the Mayor and police cheif if local or after congress if Federal. If congress fined the offending agency a million bucks per mistake, that would stop quick.
