I hope they have lots of lawyers. That was a terrifying ordeal. Wrong house???? If they can’t get addresses straight, the swat teams need to be disbanded. That is the only contact these Americans (and many others) have had with terrorists - our own drug police.
They not only had the wrong house, since the guy hadn’t lived there in months, THEY HAD THE GUY THEY WERE SEARCHING FOR ALREADY IN CUSTODY SINCE AUGUST 6th.......................................
They knew full well it was the wrong address.
Using the “wrong address” excuse just permits them to search *additional* houses. After all, someone *might* have some electronics worth stealing / drugs worth planting / dogs that need shooting.
Pretending they made a “mistake” has the added bonus of ensuring people will take them at face value and assume it was a “mistake”.
It’s not accidental. It’s tactical.
