HILLSBORO, Ohio —U.S. Marshals stormed a home and arrested a man believing he had drugs and guns Thursday morning in Hillsboro.

The only problem was that marshals had the wrong man and even the wrong house.

Nicholas Brown was making breakfast for his three children and getting ready for work when a dozen armed marshals barged into his home and arrested him for offenses he said he never committed.

Show me where I justified it. And if you can’t, you have just become part of the morass.

But someone DID drop the ball didn’t they?

Yup, twice.

1)The clerical error from office that issued the warrant.

2)The color blind error on the part of the officers (plural) who couldn't tell a white man from a black man.

(talk about a "color-blind society")

While I am doing that why don't you explain what your statement below means and how it has anything to do with this thread?

What if the homeowner is himself a Common Criminal?

"Shooting a truck full of holes that doesn’t remotely fit the description of the one in the A.P.B. isn’t a mistake."

Since you are not referencing a specific incident, and are leaving the question open to interpretation, what if the truck that was accidentally stopped contained wanted violent felons who were intent on killing a police officer?

The truck in LA that had two women in it and the cops thought they were a large black man.

Were you being cutsie or were you really unable to but two and two together?

The incident to which you are referring was still classified as a mistake though wasn’t it?

LOL!

Typical badge bunny response.

Blue protecting blue.

Your assertion is incorrect. The majority of the police support the rights of the citizens to keep and bear arms. It is the criminals, and the Democrats, who want to disarm the citizens.

Doesn't matter as all of their bosses, Police Chiefs, City Councils and Mayors want the populace disarmed.

The cops will do as they are told. Think Hurricane Katrina. If you don't know what my reference to Hurricane Katrina means let me know and I'll paint you a picture.

"Brown showed WLWT News 5 a copy of an arrest warrant that listed drug and gun charges. It had his name, date or birth and Social Security number on it but listed his address in Columbus. It also identified him as a black male when he is white."

How did Brown's name, DOB, and SSN appear on the warrant? Is someone impersonating him? The wrong address is common because crooks move around, and the Marshalls can't be faulted here.

If who ever is impersonating Brown is white, then a clerical error was made by listing him as black.

There is also the possibility that the other Nicolas Brown IS black, and that no clerical error was made regarding race.

The reason the Marshalls showed up at Brown's house is that they have access to a huge data base and the data base matched him with the address, DOB, and Social Security number on the warrant. Prior to service of the warrant, the Marshall's should have had a photo of their suspect. Can we agree, that they probably didn't? Did the originating agency fail to supply one? Looking at the warrant, and not having a photo but seeing that the rest of the identifying information was correct, they could assume that a clerical error was made, and the error was that it listed him as black instead of white. They put him in "custody" and released him later. "Custody," as you are aware, means being in handcuffs, being placed in a police vehicle, being at the police station or jail, or being in a situation where he was not free to leave.

The article doesn't make it clear if he was booked into jail, detained at home in handcuffs for a while, or taken to another location until they got the correct information.

You are obviously unaware of the fact that a lot of Sheriff's have sent letters to Obama telling him that they oppose gun control. Since you like drawing, I can send you some crayons and you can draw pictures of Sheriff's once you know what they look like.

Show me where I lumped Sheriffs in with the others.

Really, point it out for me.

Are you for real? A mistake is giving someone a Coke when they wanted a Dr Pepper. Shooting up a vehicle that is nothing like the one you are looking for with two women in it instead of a great big black man isn't a mistake.

It is a HUGE CRIMINAL action.

If it was your wife and if you weren't married to a big black man you would be whistling a different tune.

You liberals don't like having your screw ups pointed out to you do you wee one?

I guess the Katrina issue that I brought up was way past your understanding.

You were correct Altariel, this little feller just can't keep up with adults so he throws a widdle fit.

I bet he has a pouty widdle face on him right now!

Your opinion doesn't prove it wasn't a mistake. Try again.

Sheesh are you that effing stupid? Deputy Sheriff’s ARE police officers, and you clear stated ALL OF THEIR BOSSES. God help us that so called conservatives don’t understand something that basic.
