Was this level of police militarized power necessary?
Good grief! Whaddya want? Everything here was done “by the book.”
SWAT bust down wrong door

the media needs to demand that these posts be released. What is 'threatening' ? Other than posting 'fire in the theatre' anything else is probably free speech. The problem with wrong-addy raids is two-sided, oh look - there was that very neighbor, looking over the fence...and nobody paying attention to him.
Unfortunately for liberal elites, Tea Party members aren't violent, conservative spend their time working at jobs and and lone wolves - with the exception of schizophrenics (who are mentally ill and reside in both parties) basically don't exist.
The people in our society who are violent and criminal are very much like the people we're seeing on TV who are being violent and criminal - the ones looting and burning stores.
But 'Homeland' had something right - it IS the anti-government ones... These Ferguson looters are violently fighting the group designated by law to protect us - the police. That's as anti-government as it gets.
Tea Party people are the one's standing on a corner (peacefully) holding a copy of the Constitution - the document that defines and created our Government. We - Conservatives - are the pro-Governement people.
Homeland - and the people who allow illegals to storm into our country are standing with the lawless. Does that make them criminals? Think about it LA Times.
Let's just agree that there is a cautionary tale in this report for police and swat teams everywhere.
A national "False Swat Team Innocent victim fund" should be set up.
Take it out of the EBT budget...
I hope that sorry c—ksucker who cuffed that girl never has another good night of sleep.
Fortunately they were not armed when the police broke into their house or they’d be dead. This forced entry by cops for for non imminent threats must stop. Innocent people caught up in police mistakes for defending their home are being killed.
Good thing there was no dog to shoot this time.
This “news” happened over two years ago, 21 June, 2012, and was extensively discussed on FR back then.
Perhaps we get the impression that these wrong house raids are happening all the time because articles about them keep recirculating.
I thought the facts seemed familiar, so I followed the links to the original source... over two years old.
If it’s a arms race I’m behind the curve! Can someone tell me what gun store has the special on M-4 full auto weapons. Would also like a few doz. of those flash bang things as their good for the 4th. of July also. Been wanting a new truck but hell a APC would be way cooler. I can just see the looks on my hunting buddy’s faces as I roll up in armor.
PIG HUNTING WITH ARMOR-Damn! Also if I run into that 1000lb. pig it would be good to have a RPG-7 or two in the group.
