3am, a no knock warrant, the flash bang gernade lands in the playpen and the baby's face and chest are ripped open. I dont know how this could have been avoided unless the cops waited until maybe 6:30am when they would have still been asleep but it is daylight. Now the cop that threw the grenade has to live with this the rest of his life. However, the bottom line is if no drugs had been sold out of the house, no cops would have been there at 3am.

But who went home safely that night, eh??

[jimpick]

If I can be charged with a crime that was done by accident so should the police. Two sets of laws are not acceptable.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Will the collectivists start calling the cops baby killers?

[driftdiver]

Well gee perhaps if they didn’t blindly follow some informants story and maybe checked into the house before throwing bombs around they wouldn’t have killed a baby who had nothing to do with drugs.

But hey they got a drug arrest. That’ll look good come annual performance time.

After all its just another future criminal they’d have to arrest when he got older.

[JRandomFreeper]

Warrants didn't used to be carried out like this. And the bad guys got arrested anyway.

It's time to dial down the military style aggression by law enforcement.

What makes you think cops haven’t killed innocent people before when they attack the wrong house? That could happen to any of our families...unless you are living in a tony gated neighborhood.

[Vendome]

I do note the absence of Dawgs in the story, so at least the cops didn’t do anything indiscriminately. ..

[umgud]

All this, to make sure the occupants didn’t have the opportunity to destry evidence (drugs).

Now the cop that threw the grenade has to live with this the rest of his life.

All take notice - pity to the cop - not the sleeping child that the cop threw a grenade at. Yup, too bad for the cop. Well, that kid should not have chosen a drug dealer to live with.

Judging by the TV movies that I see today, American cops have morphed into jack-booted thugs. What happened to the “good old boy on the beat”?
All I see today is “Get on the ground..GET ON THE GROUND, NOW”

[4yearlurker]

...."injure someone innocent." Hey A$$hat we are all innocent till proved guilty. Another jerk cop.

[loungitude]

You and your type make me sick. Defending these irrational thugs. You are disgraceful and you define what’s gone wrong with this once-fine country.

[freedomfiter2]

What that cop has to live with is nothing compared to what the toddler has to live with. There is almost never justification for no knock warrants.

[BitWielder1]

Turn off the water, then the occupants can only flush evidence once.
No need for Nazi tactics then.

[Mechanicos]

The bottom like is no Amendment authorizing a new Prohibition was added to the Constitution. The 18th and the 21st establish the entire scope of, and the authorized methods to create prohibitions. Call what it is, unconstitutional prohibition.

[loungitude]

Now the cop that threw the grenade has to live with this the rest of his life. However, the bottom line is if no drugs had been sold out of the house, no cops would have been there at 3am.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So you are a witness to the selling of drugs out of the house?
Tell us how that happened, while you and your cop buddies go straight to hell.

[eartrumpet]

“Can I throw the grenade? Can I? Can I?”

“You know it’s Carl’s turn. You can shoot the dogs, though.”

“Oh boy, gonna shoot the dogs. Gonna shoot the dogs.”

[LostInBayport]

I dont know how this could have been avoided

You can't be serious.

They could have gone to the front door, announced their presence and their warrant and gained entry. But then they wouldn't get to play with their pricey toys.

That child may never play with another toy.

[GeronL]

No knock. The flash bang was the first thing they did?

How is this not a crime?

[GeronL]

The cops initiated the violence without reason and without evidence, the whole bunch should be sitting in cells.
