We mustn't allow the Fourth Amendment and all that to get in the way of police work. If innocents are inconvenienced, the logic is it still stops crime by apprehending criminals. Just give up your freedom for a little safety.

I wonder what the officers’ immediate response was? Usually in these cases it seems they leave without so much as an apology...

[abstracTT]

wow. im suprised the family wasnt hauled off to jail anyway just to make an example.

im also suprised there isnt more outcry about the 4th amendment the way people are hot and bothered about gun rights.

slowly but surely were are turning into a communist country. its sad.

Mpls cops have been known to be aggressive thumpers from years back. How many times has the city paid restitution ?

What's truly suprising is that the cops didn't kill the entire family.

They're fortunate the FBI wasn't called in to 'negotiate' an end to this. The entire family would have been gassed and burned to death.

Merry Christmas!

Not long before all the cop-lovers chime in stating how hard it is to write folks $160.00 tickets for going 28 in a 25.

Thank you Drug Prohibition. These police raids have come about as a direct result of the illegalization of drugs. Drug Prohibition is funding the Taliban, Castro, FARC, MS-13, Bloods, Crips, etc. You can have as much crime and violence as you want, just continue the war on (some) drugs.

“For nearly a week, the department refused to release the search warrant used to justify the assault. On Friday, authorities finally made the document public. Police smashed through the family’s windows to investigate what amounted to a domestic violence complaint.

“A woman who had previously served as a police informant told police her boyfriend, whom she alleged was a gang member, had threatened her at the address. She believed there were guns in the basement.”

This is worse than absurd. This is The Twilight Zone gone mad. Hudson v. Michigan (04-1360) appears to be the exception to the Fourth Amendment.

We live in interesting times. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!

Whoever got the wrong address here really should do some jail time. There is really no excuse for these sort of things.

Silly me, I thought the police were supposed to serve the warrant.
