The bottom line for me is this; where there are drugs there are people. People make drugs, sell drugs and use drugs.
Many drug users also make poor decisions, which may lead to kids. They end up in that environment.
Maybe police should consider that when they plan for an arrest. They run these military stile raids to justify the federal dollars and equipment they get.
I don't know what drugs were allegedly being sold there, but these tactics used to be reserved for the likes of Pablo Escobar and Manuel Noriega. Now the average citizen gets the drug lord treatment, no matter how many tiny defenseless babies might be sleeping nearby.
I guess at least they raided the correct house so we can lay all the blame at the homeless family who were staying with relatives, this time.
Drugs were in the house, yes.
Who were the ones that harmed the child?
Rival gang? Crap, how do I even answer my own question.
Thugs n stuff.How come we never hear about no-knock raids involving the arrest of white collar criminals?
Acceptance by the populace of that level of force hasn't yet extended to white collar crimes completely. But they're trying it. Dynamic entry for a student loan default.How come we never hear about no-knock raids involving the arrest of white collar criminals?

It says it in Rambone's OP.
But it doesn't really matter, even if there weren't any drugs before they busted in, there sure as hell were drugs before they left.
Right, 'the door they bought the dope out of.' But was the guy who sold them the dope there? Did they arrest him? Were any drugs found? If only we had persons who had a career to ask these sorts of questions and inform the public of the answers in an unbiased fashion . . .

give it time.
Because the SWAT teams can't climb the tall security fences surrounding their lavish manors, and we've not yet allocated the resources for the armored helicopter/tank/t-rex dinosaur hybrid vehicles they so desperately need to carry out such an operation!
How much "dope" they seized is irrelevant, frankly. Its the kind of detail that someone uses to justify this evil. Free people don't get raided in their homes over inanimate objects.
Even if they walked out of the house with the person they came for, the whole operation from top to bottom is an example of government oppression.
They jumped a 6-foot fence fence in a pre-dawn raid against a woman suspected of Medicare fraud.
