Full report will not be released for several days/weeks according to Houston Police Chief. Possibly there was something to the Chief stating the address of the raid incorrectly a couple times during the aftermath of the police raid...

“Whoopsie!”
This Houston case was a drug-raid-gone-wrong, but it could set a pattern in states with gun confiscation “red flag” laws.

[House Atreides]

This entire episode stinks to high heaven. In before the imminent arrival of the boot-licking leather worshippers — even if the cops are in the wrong.

ZERO video from the whole entry team?

Ridiculous:

Go-Pro knock-offs now go for $30; they’re smaller than a pack of cards.

Got address wrong
Mistaken for home invaders
Couple killed
No drugs
YIKES
Deleted all video footage —> CRIMINAL ACT

Odd.

Maybe he lied to the judge to get the warrant?

Maybe he got the wrong address and now two people are dead?.........................

Houston police chief Art Acevedo urged Congress to act on the issue of gun violence Wednesday, saying "our streets, our neighborhoods are truly drowning in the blood of our victims and in the tears of their loved ones.”

At a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee dedicated to gun policy, Acevedo declared, “Gun violence is arguably one of the greatest public health epidemics facing the nation everyone in this room loves and serves."

“Chiefs of police and sheriffs join the victims in asking you to act now to prevent one more death and bloodshed," he said.

Seems to me Chief your officers actions are the problem and the citizens were just using their 2nd Amendment right to defend themselves from a tyrannical government. So clean up your house before ask us to clean up ours!

“no-knock warrant”

Whoever came up with that concept and signed off on it needs to be permanently removed from all law authority, at the very least.

Wrong address? Luckily no one was killed....oh wait.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

law enforcement sources said his suspension comes amid a probe into questions over whether the sworn affidavit used to justify the no-knock warrant may have contained false information.

FISA warrants and "dossiers" obtained by colluding with Russians come to mind.

[Openurmind]

What bothers me is the total lack of concern to make absolutely sure the information is correct before acting. This should have never happened period, this stuff is starting to happen far too often. Absolute and qualified immunity of both officers and judges needs to be abolished and a special prison where LEO can be safely incarcerated with other peers rather than the public needs to be built, it’s time... there is a need. They keep getting off because there is no safe place to incarcerate them.

James Comey anyone? Brennan, Powers, Rice, Strzok, Page et al? All they did was obtain a false warrant to subvert the election of the President of the United States!

[2harddrive]

Sounds like the cops killed two people for NOTHING, no? Both INNOCENT? Wrong house AGAIN?

[wita]

No knock raids have been going bad since no knock raids began. It isn’t the bad guys or the cops who suffer, it is the good old American Taxpayer.

My take has always been, two gentlemen in suits with a warrant at the door. When that is not good enough, we have lost the war, and life as we know it is over.

I will leave my thoughts from the original raid thread here.

“No knock warrants are dangerous, of dubious constitutionality (not legal for this instance until 1995), and should only be reserved for the most severe cases. In ‘81 only 3000 no knock warrants were signed. In ‘05 alone 50,000 no knock warrants were signed and carried out. A number which has certainly grown since then.

I personally do not care about the people in question, nor this particular raid in general. I care about the rights of my fellow Americans, and the seemingly constant eroding of those rights under the guise of safety, or for our own good, or for the children. I reject those arguments outright.”

And this quote, which I found somewhere (not sure of the author).

“Police-state style assault forces being used to violently enter a persons residence when that person is not actively engaged in violent acts are incompatible with life in a free society.

As it is better a hundred guilty go free than one innocent person be imprisoned. So too is it better a hundred guilty destroy evidence of their guilt than one innocent person’s life be risked or worse ended by an extremely violent breach of the peace initiated by agents of the State.”
