Did it occur to you to knock or call?

DEA raids the wrong house:

A DEA statement says authorities were looking for 27-year-old Monte Lamar Brewer Jr., a suspect in the 2017 death of a pregnant woman and a target in an ongoing heroin investigation. Instead, they raided Spencer Rencks household.

The father of four says a team busted through the front door, threw flash bangs, knocked pictures off walls, damaged the ceiling and burned holes through clothes and carpet.

Renck wrote on Facebook that he does not understand how agents got the wrong house.

    That’s horsecrap of the first order and proof of incompetency if I ever saw it. The DEA certainly ran a “investigation” before going for that dude but somehow got the wrong house.

    I was a Fireman for over 30 years and when a call came in, we had not more that 2 minutes to locate the address, plot out a route there before rolling out of the Station. We never failed to arrive at the right address in a timely manner.
    Now if First Responders, who have only 2 minutes to figure out where the address is can get it right every time why cant Law Enforcement, who’ve done probably weeks of investigating do so?
    (It may be noticed that I excluded LEOs from “First Responders”. That’s because I don’t recognize them as being in the same category as Firefighters and Paramedics.)

    And he’ll never find out either, because not even an act of g_d would get the search warrant released.

    This is not that unusual. Cops are always screwing this up, and when they bust down the door on an innocent family they usually shoot the first person they see.

    Especially if that person has a gun. (What would you do if you woke up in the middle of the night because someone kicked in your door? I would roll out of bed and pull a .357 magnum out of my night stand.)

    The agents involved should be prosecuted for home invasion. They either did not have a warrant for the home they stormed, or they swore on penalty of perjury to a judge that the address was for the right house.

    I’ve covered a ton of these things through the years, none of them good. I think Huck has a very valid point. You’re watching the place, or have at least scoped it out, and you don’t send a photo for visual verification to the no knock raiders? Cell phones do that now, don’t they?

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
