Very Interesting.. Disturbing indeed.

But the interesting thing was, I live in the Twin Cities, and this is the first I heard about it, and I read the newspaper daily and ATS daily.

But I remember the botched raid, I laughed pretty hard at their inability.

But handing out a reward, looking at this from a citizen standpoint, disappointing.

Disturbing not likely !
they were given awards for a job well done
they were able to do their job an error of the house is not what the award is for. the award is for handling that mistake in a fashion that resulted in no loss of life and defused a potentially terrible incident .

are you saying they got an award for NOT shooting anyone in the wrong house?
just for the record, i have never shot anyone either, do i get an award for that aswell?

Okay, so if these guys got an award for handling the situation "professionally," was the person who was responsible for the bad raid forced to end their profession? No of course not.

EDIT to add: Apparently they got the word from a snitch that there were guns in the house. I bet the snitch is pissing his pants laughing, unless the cops offed him and dumped the body somewhere in reprisal.

I'm sorry to tell the police, that there is no HONOR in assaulting citizens.

And they should cease cooperating with destroying our constitution.

You know, the one they swore to protect.

It takes some BACKBONE to not enforce laws that somehow got passed.

It is the right AND the duty of citizens to not cooperate enforcing or complying with unconstitutionl laws.

The NAZIS who were found guilty of war crimes, we're "just following orders"...same thing as following laws that are UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
