If you didn't know better, you'd think police departments were headed by incarnations of Bob Ross. Drug raids, especially those of the wrong door variety, obviously aren't perceived by the state and its cronies as activities that consistently put the lives of innocent human beings at risk.
Consider the flip attitude of Gwinnett County (Ga.) police spokesman John Bankhead in response to a botched no-knock raid that terrorized the family of a young woman while she was at work (i.e., raising tax revenue for the state so it can afford to pay thugs to trespass on her property).
“We are doing a complete review of what happened,” Bankhead said. “We will make corrections about procedures and will do additional training if necessary.”
Yeah, that oughta help. Plenty of consolation for the attempted murder of five people, including an infant baby.

wonder if some intrepid investigative reporter is out there tracking all these "mistakes". gotta be at least one a day across our fair land.
perhaps a mainstream-media expose' is what's needed here to raise some hackles?

Wow! You must feel like an idiot. You bitch about someone getting something wrong and your whole bitch is wrong. All you had to do was cut and paste it and insert your dipshit comments but that was too hard. Read the article again and see who was running the operation and then see if you can read where it says that PIO worked. Then try again.

I get it, I get it..you're high. That must be it, because I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
