They are in trouble no matter what. This is the poster child for Jack Booted Thugs Kill Granny.

I completely agree with your second sentence. They may be smart to be getting attorneys, if they had anything to do with the warrant or it looks like they may be scapegoated by the city.

But if they only had the job of serving dangerous warrants, she fired at them first and they followed the rules, they should have no worries. Again it is a big if, but if there part was only to serve what they were told was a dangerous warrant, we should demand the end to the "no knock" warrants not the scalp of the guys unlucky enough to be given an address for a 92 year old women but told it was a dangerous drug address. The issue in the so called "drug war" is not actions of individual cops, it is what the rules are now.

"she fired at them first and they followed the rules, they should have no worries."

If I believed that, I'd agree with you. No one is available to give an account of what happened, besides the cops. I have no automatic faith in what they said happened, and I suspect something went terribly wrong in this raid.

Of course, I could be wrong, but the story is suspicious and seems to be changing.
