Good job Mr. Farley. I am sorry you were wounded and hope you have a speedy recovery.

I guess the Feds are lucky that Manafort didn’t have a gun under his pillow. This type of ‘surprise’ invasion is fraught with danger for the Feds AND the person targeted.
Lousy story.
I wanted to know motive; story ends up beating a dead horse. Obviously they were targeted.
Why?
Why? If I lived in that neighborhood (which I would not), my fence would be comparable to the Trump southern border wall. Its the first layer of defense. The brother had the second layer (his gun).
The other criminal in this case needs to be convicted on felony murder charges since his partner got killed. He needs to be put away for a long long time.
There are a very small number of reason why SWAT should be called out or a no knock warrant should be used.
Kidnapping might be one.
Right now most of the reasons either fall into, "we didn't want them to destroy evidence" (not a good reason) or "how else can we justify our cool toys" (really not a good reason).
This and the police tactic of tapping on the door and whispering "police" before taking a ram to the door should get all involved fired.
Especially since they have trouble at times finding the right house.
Why?
Lots of houses in the city have fenced in yards. Renting having a house with a fenced in yard is a great selling point for people with dogs.
All four of my rentals are partly or fully fenced.
Good job Mr. Farley. I am sorry you were wounded and hope you have a speedy recovery.
You don't. You can't.
Anybody breaking down your door at 0h-dark-thirty is a criminal. You dare not assume otherwise. Act accordingly.
Police and Judges: Take note. We the People, your masters, are armed. Be polite and be professional. Show up during the day and announce yourselves. Show a warrant, or go away.
There was a similar problem in Houston 20 years ago where home invaders were dressed up as DEA/FBI/what have you.
The Beaver County Coroner’s Office identified the man killed Wednesday in a double shooting in Aliquippa as 32-year-old Terrell Henson.
Henson died of gunshot wounds to the head and chest and Coroner David Gabauer ruled the death a homicide. State police are investigating instead of Aliquippa’s department, which has placed three officers — including its chief and assistant chief — on leave over the past two months.
Dana Lamar Penny, 36, of Aliquippa, is wanted on homicide and a litany of other charges in connection with Wednesday’s shooting.
State police allege in a criminal complaint that Henson and Penny identified themselves as federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents when they approached a house on the city’s Third Avenue and confronted Briona Hicks, who was smoking on a front porch.... trib live article on shooting
Seems like a really bad part of town.
Anyone who makes a SWATing call should be charged with attempted capital murder. If anyone is killed as a result, whether the deceased is the target or a law enforcement officer, the person who made the call should be subject to capital murder charges, with the death penalty.
Buy the man a steak dinner!
The real DEA: “Warrant? Warrant? We don’t need no stinkin’ warrant!”
“Scary stuff. Sounds like she would have been trafficked, or raped and dead. Thank God for the brother.”
I doubt they were after her. Faking being DEA agents is a good sign that the house was targeted because they thought drugs or drug money was there.
DEAd.
And some of the homeowners have been found guilty. Corey Maye in Mississippi was sentenced to death, although the verdict was later overturned and he pled guilty to manslaughter, ten years time served.
Oh, that’s interesting. But I think it did say they were dragging her out of the house. Although I suppose they could have left her in the yard.
Very much like the town I grew up in. Each house put up separately with its own character. Fence looks older, and as others noted great for pets/children.
That is, of course, just my take on it. I certainly could be mistaken.
If they’re druggies, they’re always half expecting the DEA to come crashing in, so home invaders would have been playing to their fears.
