Mr. Page is lucky they didn't shoot his Lab. :(

They are lucky he didn’t “mistake” them for home intruders.

This is probably not the last of his problems. The state police were embarrassed by their mistake and he will have to pay for that embarrassment somehow.

This could have been a bloodbath. So now, the undercover police SWAT teams, out on midnight raids, just go the any house when they don't have a solid address?

They were trying to provoke him. Or scare him.

The lab was inside and they didn’t break into the house. That is a plus for the cops. Not breaking in and shooting the dog, however, may well get the cops involved reprimanded at some level.

In the age of Google maps, drones filling the skies and surveillance cameras on every tree, why should anyone believe this was a mistake?
It’s no secret cops hate militias, and if it’s common knowledge that Mack is in poor health, then maybe, just maybe, a midnight visit to his home when he’s asleep...

All of this for a “potential probation violation”?
The state police have nothing better to do with their time?
Good grief.

This is not a simple misunderstanding that can be swept under the rug. To many wrong addresses keep happening.

**the state police officials have apologized to Page for the mistake.** I believe a formal investigation by a different agency with access to the anonymous informant is in order. It really sounds like a they were reminding the militia leader that they were watching him.

I just want it to never happen again. Enough is enough, he said. I am adamant on having this whole thing turned around, and a whole new attitude from the state police. With that kind of an attitude, citizen, we may just have to shoot your dog next time.

Late night probation check at 11pm that includes “come out with your hands up”? Is that how they conduct probation checks in Maine? Hard to believe.

The school tragedy had the effect of sharpening public attention on guns, and if the cops had succeeded in provoking a shoot-out with a known militia member at exactly the same time, then the pressure for new gun laws about go up 500%.
Just more political treachery.
WHO was the right perp, hmmm....?? Let’s hear it.
We won’t because there IS no perp nearby —he WAS the target that night.

Globalist don't like people in militia's, or gun owners.
State police don't normally get involved in petty warrant sweeps. Shakespeare’s Marcellus said “something is rotten in the state of Denmark”.

We did apologize to [Page], and he accepted our apology. Both he and state police are moving in a positive direction as a result of the incident. Gotta love PR guys. I am unclear how the phrase 'positive direction' would in apply in this situation other than if it is a Gov't PR synonym for "He's lucky we didn't shoot him [or his dog]."

since when are search warrants good for the middle of the night? and for a PROBATION CHECK???
something stinks... warrants are generally served between the hours of dawn and dusk not like some NAZI's in the middle of the night

In that situation I would have said that I had chest pain,demanded to be taken to a hospital and then hired a NY lawyer,promising him 66% of anything over $10 million that I was awarded.

Handwriting mistake, it happens. I have rental property & I was sent a bill by my plumber for a property, (which was not mine).
His clerk wrote the wrong address down on their work order. From the 4920 house number I gave her, it became 4929 on the work order. Well, that wrong property got some Free Plumbing, lol.
Transposing numbers and poor handwriting, is a big problem.

Sounds like a trial run.
If I were the commie in the white house, the first thing I’d do.....
I’d have the feds start “tipping off” local cops to surround militia members in the middle of the night, hoping somebody would panic or think they’re getting robbed thus open fire.
Voila. Militia member shoots police officer. CNN takes it from there.
If challenged, deny everything and announce the police got the wrong house and are sorry.

Ultimately, the directions we had, which were vague, we ended up at the wrong house. Macks house, Sgt. Patrick Hood of the Maine State Police said Friday.Great detective work! /s (Clown Posse)
