In my neck of the woods...we are required to stake out the house...get a written description of the residence...verify everything...take it to supervisor...before even applying for a search warrant...been in law enforcement for 20 years...never had a wrong residence hit....

[bamahead]

The officers left without an apology or information about how Skinner might get reimbursed for the damage.

Wouldn’t be surprised to find that the cops used google maps street scene to find the address.

We all know how reliable that is...

A bunch of adult ADHD heavily armed, poorly trained ninja assassin wannabes use highly suspect tips from criminal "confidential informants" to assault private homes at odd hours:

What could possibly go wrong?

And by the way, between this kind of crap and Katherine Sebelius' daily tyrannies, the Bill of Rights has ceased to function. The Fourth Amendment states clearly:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Friggin Retarded Asshats. WTF???? They can’t weed Engrish.

They are such tough thugs they have no feelings?

Completely insensitive to what they effect of their actions might have on a completely innocent and elderly man?

Wouldn’t surprise if several of them drown themselves in alcohol and abuse drugs to assuage their guilt for being men of slight integrity and embarrassed for having such small zibs ...

I’m guessing the old man didn’t have a dog for companionship.

Luckily.

Let me guess, the cops were acting on a tip from a "informant"?

"I didn’t know why the troopers were running through the house."

It appears that they didn't know why they were running through the house either.

Storm troopers is more like it.

From the article:

“The New York Police Department, for instance, specifies that the commanding officer be notified immediately and that a uniformed officer stay at the scene until a city contractor arrives to repair the door.

Other agencies will be sure to have a contractor on-call for immediate repairs.”

Just incredible!

[Whats-wrong-with-the-truth]

Let me guess. It's illegal to own firearms in Victory isn't it? These training exercises have got to stop. Citizens in states where your 2nd amendment rights are being denied you need to take your state back. Get rid of the sorry a** politicians that are hiring and funding these types of jack booted thugs. Here in Texas you rarely hear about a bunch of knuckle headed, government sanctioned gang members illegally busting into homes. They'd get shot here.

I'm just sayin.

[Principled]

At least they didn’t have any dogs to shoot.

[grobdriver]

AGAIN!!!???

[justiceseeker93]

There's more to this incident that just property damage caused by the police insanity. There is psychological damages to Mr. Skinner and, above all, a clear deprivation of Mr. Skinner's Fourth Amendment right to be protected against unwarranted, unconsented, non-exigent government break-ins and trespassing on his private property.

There is a federal civil rights statute which is designed specifically to obtain redress for such federal constitutional violations perpetrated by state or local government officials.

Hopefully, some attorney or law firm will aid Mr. Skinner in filing a federal suit against the perpetrators for all the damages suffered. And yes, violations of constitutional rights can carry a monetary price tag as well as property or physical or emotional damages.

Constitutionalists and libertarians must encourage and aid in any way they can American citizens who suffer abuses of their constitutional rights from government officials at any level - federal, state, county, or municipal - in seeking legal redress for their deprivations. And we must be persistent at it, until courts are more responsive to these cases.

Fire them all, and forfeit their pensions. The existing pensions will fund the victim’s damages and lawsuit winnings so the people who effed up will be accountable.

Seriously.

Anytime SWAT does this crap. They’re done. And hard jail time if they murder innocent people. Enough.

[Forgotten Amendments]

Is this the same Rochester police force who pulled this stunt?

My tagline.

[SuperLuminal]

Practice makes perfect!

Scaring randomly selected serfs into submission or, even better, into a state of medical emergency must occur with regularity in order that order be maintained.

[MasterGunner01]

It is surprising that the JBT (jackbooted thugs) just didn’t murder the old guy because they raided the wrong place. Hey, someone has to die and anyone will suffice. Guilty or innocent, it’s all the same to the Rochester PD Drug Task force. Our motto: “Off ‘em all.” /s/

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Read enough, lots of cowboys with guns. Who issued the warrant and what was the stated probable cause?
Guess I better double check the size of the number on the outside of my house.
