Was this level of police militarized power necessary?

Swat Team Raids Innocent Woman’s Home; Lawsuit Filed

Compensation for damage to their house will only be recovered (if then) by a costly law suit against the city. And the actual culprits are rarely liable.
SO DID THE STUPID COPS EVER GO DO THE SAME THING AT THE RIGHT HOUSE?????
DID THEY EVER ARREST THE RIGHT PERSON????
DIP$!TZ
“they had the wrong place”
When the police break into the home of an innocent person without a search warrant, they have broken the law and must go to jail.
If they have a search warrant and they go to the wrong home they have broken the law and must go to jail.
An unsecured router led to this stunning military type raid???
The ultimate expression, and eventual end-game of "See something, say something."
And people wonder why there is such a negative perception of law enforcement in the US today.
It was fun and cutting up after they executed their raid.... I wonder if any of these JBT had a ounce of remorse they tore up a completely innocent persons home...let alone arrested two innocent people...
My Gawd, I would hang my head in shame....
Wow, it’s a good thing that these brave swat team thug put the scared LITTLE girl in hand cuffs along with the 68 year old mother.
These swat thugs had no idea if there were little children playing on the floor or if there was a baby laying on a blanket when they threw two flash bangs into the house.
Well at least they went home safe and that is all that matters, f thet innocent mother and little girl.
Who ever issue the order should be responsible for ALL damages for not doing any type of investigation prior to the thug raid.
This is the kind of crap people need to worry about. Not riot control.
Hey police! I know you don’t want complicated thoughts to get in the way of your bang bang shoot the a$$holes fun, but here’s a thought. An IP address is not a person.
Kinda like a “telephone number.” The telephone number is not a person. Get it? I don’t think I can simplify it any more.
You need ONE MORE thing before you go after a person. SOME indication as to the identity of the individual.
BTW, look at a lot of pictures of TV remotes. They don’t have a trigger or a barrel. They aren’t guns. So don’t shoot the old man reaching for the remote to mute the sound.
OH, and a lot of old people are deaf, so don’t shoot a hole through their hearing aids when you decide the hearing aid is a gun.
This Ramboed-up-flash-banging-breaking-down-old-lady's-doors crap needs to stop NOW!
Its undermining legitimate law enforcement operations. If these over-the-top Rambo ops aren't nipped in the bud then Ferguson type reactions will become the normal response to these incidents but it will instead be directed at those in charge. And when the mob stops looting and instead starts dragging the cops and their masters out into the street for some severe attitude adjustment it's gonna take a major shakedown to put that genie back in the bottle!
Oh wow...poor people.
Truth: “wrong house” does not give the cops a free pass to do anything they want. They are completely responsible, civilly, and criminally, for anything they do to the wrong person. Apologies are no good. Criminal and/or civil remedies are the only way.
The innocent person has the right to protect himself and his family. The innocent person has the right to use force for protection. There will be a clash of forces. If the innocent person is injured or killed, the innocent person has been murdered.
B-b-b-but there’s some thugs on the streets of Ferguson. We HAVE to have an oppressive police force.
I mean, you know, what were the threats?
Were they, what do they say “specific” threats? Or was it “I’m going to get you” stuff?
Was it thought to be tea party related, like: you deserve to be rejected by the voters?
You’d think they might have checked these people out a little bit, to see if it seemed reasonable they were making the threats. Don’t they have an IT guy who could explain to them the postings might not have come from that exact location?
This is just off the top of my head, so I’m wondering why the professional crime investigators didn’t think of any of it.
Totally unnecessary. Could have been handled by a couple of deputies and a polite knock on the door. Sadly it will continue until someone has to pay out of their own pocket instead of the taxpayers.
