surprised I didn’t see this posted already.

The kicker? They were looking for a 14 year old that they’ve been told five times over a two year period no longer lives there.

This HAS TO STOP.

Ohio SWAT Team Raids Wrong House, Seriously Injures Baby With Flashbang Grenade, Denies Responsibility

redstate.com redstate.com

In the aftermath of the raid, it was revealed that law enforcement had targeted the wrong home, and tragically, their actions resulted in the baby sustaining injuries. The events that unfolded left the family shaken and seeking justice for Waylon’s suffering.

Price told RedState that she had been staying with her aunt Redia and her husband for one week before the incident occurred. She recounted her experience, describing how she stood petrified as the police burst into her aunt Redia’s home, throwing a flashbang grenade into the residence and breaking windows. She was feeding her son, who has a condition requiring the use of a G-tube because he cannot eat by mouth. A little after 2 pm, she “started hearing very loud pings on the door,” and went to see what was happening.

Price explained that the officers kept her outside for 35 to 45 minutes while her son “was laying in his swing, covered in glass, covered in smoke, choking, gasping for air.”

@Chuckman with respect to the civil right violation, according to the article, when told the subject of the warrant, a 14 yo black kid, the cops pointed to a picture of the (black) mother’s uncle hanging on the wall and made a comment about being sure that they had the wrong family.

They had been to the house five times within the last year looking for this little boy, and we’ve told them every time that he doesn’t live here. He hasn’t lived here in two years now. It was the previous residents before us. The little boy is black, and my uncle (Marlon) is also black. The rest of us are all white. He pointed at my uncle’s picture on the wall and said, ‘Are you sure this isn’t your family, the little boy?’ I said, ‘Yes, I’m positive. I’ve never seen him before in my life.’

This is a great line:

“We hit the right house on Parmely,” Pelko said. “The search warrant was for 331 Parmely, that was the correct house. This wasn’t a case of us hitting the wrong house.”


I had SWAT show up at my house.
They 'banged' on the door first @ 0600 on a Sunday morning.
I ran to the door, saw the unmarked cars blocking my drive and I opened that door as fast as I could; they were about to break it down.
When they saw me - a white woman - their expressions totally changed and they took a step back.
Said they had a warrant and I asked to see it.
Sure enough it had my address 1234 SW 10th Ct but when I read further, I realized they wanted 1234 SW 10th St . . . . one street over.
I knew exactly what house/who they were looking for and the black folks that lived there.

While my house was the 'correct house' based on the warrant, it was not the correct house..
Luckily I got the door open in time, the officers were calm about admitting there was a mistake, they left without any further incident nor did they enter my home.
 
Shades of Baby Bou Bou, a toddler that took a flash-bang grenade to the face from a Cornelia SWAT team executing a no-knock warrant in Georgia 10 years ago.

The officers involved?

No criminal indictments.

The family eventually won a civil lawsuit that cost the taxpayers $3.614 million to the family, not counting all the legal expenses. Not a dime of which came out of the police department budget.

 
hahahaha 2 stun devices were set off outside the house, and that none were used inside...
i guess if you call pulling the pin and letting the spoon fly "setting off" and "using", that's correct... but the splosions... yeah we don't talk about those.

I don't know that the department ever pays, it usually comes out of the municipality's insurance.

Sounds like they need to get an intelligence guy on staff. It's not rocket science.

every time i see one of these i say that payouts should come from the police union retirement fund.
Police will suddenly start protecting and serving the crap out of eachother like they do with the general public.
 
Police departments do indeed have mapping people; they just typically don't pay enough to attract really good ones.

Also they are increasingly distracted by woke projects, for example, drawing up new plans that ignore where crimes are actually happening and telling officers they are patrolling those areas "too much."

Most bigger departments have an intelligence unit whose job it is to figure out stuff like that.

Blanket qualified immunity needs to stop. Then these types of things will stop. Great example of something well intentioned that’s gone way too far. Same with civil asset forfeiture.

a town with the population of 52,000 and two dozen cops at least on the raid. Detail ONE COP to find the bad guy day and nite. It can't be that hard. But then they don't get the big swat budget next year

Plus they can't show the little people that they mean business without all their swat toys

all this talk about requiring an Intelligence Unit/Officer to get the address right....If they can't do better than an Amazon driver, why are we letting them have guns and grenades?

And immunity et al.

I bet if they didn't have that blanket immunity to do whatever they want they'd be a lot more careful before they storm someone's house.

I would also like to see a form of exception made to self defense law, including things like the verbiage in the concealed carry permit statutes that explicitly state that you have no right to use force against a cop doing their duty, that should qualify that to exclude when the cops are in the wrong.

The idea that the place to argue things is in court sounds good in practice, but the reality is that the cops are out of control, and this started back somewhere around 1990 with the militarization.

Just as intended. They sold drugs and guns to the inner cities, then used it as an excuse to militarize the police. Then the Patriot Act militarized everything else.

Exactly.

I delivered pizzas in the early 90s. It ain't rocket science, even in areas that absolutely SUCK because nobody can be bothered to put up house numbers.

No-knock raids? Middle of the night? No declaration of who is kicking down my door? Who wouldn't light up the Fatal Funnel in such a situation?
How is this even a chargeable offense?

Now with declaration by non-LE door-kickers as being LE is in common practice? I intend to rake from one side of the door frame to another, all the way down the line.

You seem to be using the past-tense, what's up with that?

A-Effin-Men! I carried a Mag Lite cause I was so concerned with getting the address right, and I didn't intend to kill anyone.

Tho with the spinach and anchovy pizzas I guess manslaughter could have been a legit charge.

some places have that put in to their law already. cops hate it.
but that doesn't apply. didn't you see that they went to the house on their warrant and did nothing wrong?

I had a 1 1/4 million candle power spotlight. I didn't play around.

Either fix the lack of house numbers or I'd burn them into the side of the house.

Because the new plan is to make us into disenfranchised slaves and while the prison industrial complex was useful for that, they've decided to do it by climate fiat instead.
