"We do like to think that we get it correct most of the time but this was an anonymous tip that came through Crime Stoppers and we had another source actually, two tips, within about an hour, that the individual was at that house," said IMPD Sgt. Paul Thompson.

According to the source it wasn't the wrong house, it was bad info:

Now let's look at this logically. What if the perp WAS at that house terrorizing the family. He could have been in another room. Not going in armed may have been deadly for the cops, then the family. I know this is ATS and there's a lack of respect for the police here but c'mon, think about this.

And for the most part, on the national average... Cops are good people. Or at least morally neutral people. They are, with a sadly large number of exceptions, a group of genuine, flawed human beings who want to protect the general populous and their own families at great risk of life and limb.
The person they are looking for is dangerous. They have to take any tip on that seriously.
You wouldn't call the cops if you were in a situation that was beyond your control and you were in danger. I highly doubt that. Who would you call? Ghostbusters?

Then they pulled me over when I tried to leave after I helped clean the place up, and continued pulling me over for weeks on end whenever they saw me.
