SWAT flash-bangs toddler in play pen - the "Baby Bou Bou" saga

Well I hope these officers and whoever authorized the raid get their just deserts. All for nothing.... a small amount of drugs and a person that wasn't even there.

Makes me literally sick to my stomach

Duh,,,Ya think? :confused:

:cool:

Which ones are the "good" guys?

"Police" should not exist in a free society. The very concept of police should not exist.
It is the concept of control. And the concept that people NEED to be controlled.
It is an authoritarian concept and contrary to liberty.

An elected sheriff to represent the people he is responsible to..Though I think there should be more and localized counties.

By a percentage of people perhaps. How many do we need? 1 for a thousand? How about 1 to 500?

I to 100,,?

1 to ??

How much government control, outside of people you know do, you want?

Proposed rough draft of proposed legislation to produce Constitutional Sheriffs in North Carolina and to thereby protect North Carolina citizens in the event of any catastrophic bureaucratic usurpation of human and civil rights, in the form of gun confiscations or unwarranted arrests or indefinite detentions without trial.

Title of the sketch-out draft is "North Carolina Sheriffs First and Gun Rights Protection Act"

No other Sheriff's First bill in America, or Gun Rights Protection bills that have been introduced have been examined, and I expect that public review of this rough draft, when compared with those, will help us refine this into something to be submitted for introduction.

Starting that process then, is the first formal rough draft. and I do hope for your most diligent and pedantic input.

Sheriff's First and Gun Rights Protection Act
SECTION 1.

Declarations of authority. – The General Assembly declares that the authority for this act is the following:

(1) The Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees to the states and their people all powers not granted to the federal government elsewhere in the Constitution and reserves to the State and people of North Carolina certain powers as they were understood at the time that North Carolina adopted the Constitution in November 1789. The guaranty of those powers is a matter of contract between the State and people of North Carolina and the United States whereupon North Carolina was the first state to ratify following the inclusion of a Bill of Rights, without which it would not have been adopted, and the violation of said amendments usurps the principles whereupon North Carolina joined the Union on November 21, 1789.

(2) The Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees to the people rights not granted in the Constitution and reserves to the people of North Carolina certain rights as they were understood at the time that North Carolina adopted the Constitution in 1789. The guaranty of those rights is a matter of contract between the State and people of North Carolina and the United States as of the time that the United States Constitution was agreed upon and adopted by North Carolina in 1789.

(3) The regulation of intrastate commerce is vested in the states under the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.

(4) The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution reserves to the people the right to keep and bear arms as that right was understood at the time that North Carolina ratified the Constitution in 1789, and the guaranty of the right is a matter of contract between the State and people of North Carolina and the United States as of the time that the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights was agreed upon and adopted by North Carolina in 1789.

(5) Section 30 of Article I of the North Carolina Constitution and Declaration of Rights clearly secures to North Carolina citizens, and prohibits government interference with, the right of individual North Carolina citizens to keep and bear arms. To wit, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; and, as standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they shall not be maintained, and the military shall be kept under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power." This constitutional protection is nearly unchanged from the original North Carolina Constitution, which was approved by the Fifth Provincial Congress, and the right exists as it was understood at the time that the United States Constitution was agreed upon and ratified by North Carolina in 1789.

(6) The Federalist Papers (specifically Madison #46 and Hamilton #29), as well as the entire history of the ratification of the Second Amendment, reveal that the right to bear arms was primarily intended as the sole means of defense and as a hedge against the potential tyranny of an overreaching Federal Government.

(7) According to the natural law of logic, a right intentionally enumerated in both the United States Constitution and within the North Carolina Constitution specifically and directly intended as a hedge against the potential tyranny of an overreaching Federal Government should not and cannot in any way be defined by nor regulated from the very Federal Government being so guarded.

SECTION 2.
Law enforcement investigations, including but not limited to arrest, search, confiscation or surveillance actions by law enforcement agencies (henceforth, LEAs) from outside the county of a North Carolina sheriff's jurisdiction must receive permission in writing or other manner of explicit record of the county sheriff,

Sheriffs and their deputies in North Carolina are empowered to halt, detain and/or arrest as needed any agent of said LEAs taking part in search, confiscation, surveillance or arrest activities absent of proper permission and/or properly issued search warrants as applicable from the local county court of record, and

Sheriffs in North Carolina in keeping with their oaths of office may use proper force at their disposal to prevent, stop and otherwise disrupt non-county LEA agents from unconstitutional law enforcement actions. (Mutual-aid agreements among contiguous county and municipality LEAs shall not be impacted by this legislation)

County Sheriffs may engage in Mutual Aid agreements with any LEA in the State, which must be reviewed and approved annually by the duly elected Sheriff.

All warrants issued for execution by such governmental officials, representatives, or agencies, or instruments thereof must be submitted to the Sheriff for examination prior to execution. Failure to gain Sheriffs' approval to proceed obliges the Sheriff to obtain warrants for the arrest of all who so acted without permission. Courts will be obliged to issue such warrants on the sworn oath, affirmation, or affidavit of the Sheriff and prosecutors will be obliged to bring felony charges against those for whom warrants have been issued, and

County Sheriffs shall be authorized to judge the constitutional validity of all warrants presented to them and withhold permission to execute those the Sheriff deems in violation of individual human rights.

Regional LEA's are reserved the right to hot pursuit across County lines, but are required to broadcast and receive on County Sheriff frequencies, or a given mutual frequency, and to accept Sheriff dispatch direction during hot pursuit. Suggest 'dual broadcast' radios stay on your home frequency and switch "advise" frequency in and out of counties.

In all areas where the North Carolina General Assembly has ceded concurrent or exclusive jurisdiction to the federal government under the constitution, the powers of federal jurisdiction and arrest will remain unaffected by this act.

All State recognized Indian Tribes will be regarded as sovereign for the exclusive purposes of this act, and shall in like manner to a County Sheriff be responsible for the security governing their own tribal reservations, and shall be granted the same powers and responsibilities as County Sheriffs under this act, when interacting with outside jurisdictions and LEA's.

The Governor is Commander in Chief of the military forces of the State and reserves the right to call out those forces to execute the law, suppress riots and insurrections, and repel invasion.

SECTION 3.
The County Sheriff will have the explicit responsibility of reviewing the constitutionality of every law enforcement action in his or her jurisdiction, and a Constitutional review of every action taken in that County will be made public in January of every year, and then current data 60 days prior to a general election where the Sheriff is in contest.

An appropriation is requested to make this data live on the internet (rather than annual or in quarterly chunks) for every county.

The task of producing the journal may be delegated to a Constitutional lawyer, but the entries must be signed by the duly elected Sheriff.

SECTION 4.
The General Assembly of North Carolina specifically and explicitly charges the organizations affected under the North Carolina Sheriff's First Act to act in the defense of County residents in the event of catastrophic breakdown in the American chain of command, or the organized subversion of Constitutional limits.

To wit, the one hundred duly elected Sheriff's of the State of North Carolina are hereby charged as the last line of defense in the event of blatantly unconstitutional federal weapon bans or confiscations. This discretion over prohibited actions spreads to but is not limited to:

National Security Letters
Self-signed PATRIOT Search Warrants
Citizens targeted for indefinite detention without Habeas Corpus
Firearm Registration that fails to comport with the North Carolina State Constitution
Firearms Canvassing actions, collections, or confiscations.

SECTION 5.
County Sheriff's may be removed, and upon removal a Special Election of the county will be held for replacement.

The General Assembly will have the power to call a special election as a local bill which must include the existing Sheriff on the ballot, and

The Governor will have the power to order a County Sheriff to cease and desist (subject to legislative override same as a veto), and

1% of the signatures of the people living in a county may be brought before a duly elected judge in the State of North Carolina who will determine cause for a hearing, and upon that hearing issue a cease and desist order and call for a special election, and

20% of the signatures of the people living in a county may be brought before a duly elected judge in the State of North Carolina who will then issue a judicial stop and desist and call for a special election regardless of cause.

SECTION 6.
Any official, agent, or employee of the United States government or any employee of a corporation providing services to the United States government that enforces or attempts to enforce an act, order, law, statute, rule, or regulation of the government of the United States in violation of this Article shall be guilty of a Class F felony.

This subsection is not binding unless Section 5 of Article I of the North Carolina Constitution is amended so that it does not disallow the binding of the interposition in this act.

Suspects under non-binding interposition may be arrested, detained, tried, sentenced, but not imprisoned, or otherwise taken under State leveled punitive actions. Non-binding interposition does not at any time apply jeopardy, and the suspect is free to be charged with otherwise binding crimes to be tried following the trial over the non-binding interposition, or for the same crime in a Federal Court.

Any officer or employee of the State of North Carolina or any county or city that enforces or attempts to enforce an act, order, law, statute, rule, or regulation of the government of the United States in violation of this Article is guilty of a Class I felony.

SECTION 7.
This act becomes effective upon adoption.
 
After our house burned down in Wisconsin a few months ago, my husband and I packed our four young kids and all our belongings into a gold minivan and drove to my sister-in-law’s place, just outside of Atlanta. On the back windshield, we pasted six stick figures: a dad, a mom, three young girls, and one baby boy.

That minivan was sitting in the front driveway of my sister-in-law’s place the night a SWAT team broke in, looking for a small amount of drugs they thought my husband’s nephew had. Some of my kids’ toys were in the front yard, but the officers claimed they had no way of knowing children might be present. Our whole family was sleeping in the same room, one bed for us, one for the girls, and a crib.

After the SWAT team broke down the door, they threw a flashbang grenade inside. It landed in my son’s crib.

Flashbang grenades were created for soldiers to use during battle. When they explode, the noise is so loud and the flash is so bright that anyone close by is temporarily blinded and deafened. It’s been three weeks since the flashbang exploded next to my sleeping baby, and he’s still covered in burns.

There’s still a hole in his chest that exposes his ribs. At least that’s what I’ve been told; I’m afraid to look.

My husband’s nephew, the one they were looking for, wasn’t there. He doesn’t even live in that house. After breaking down the door, throwing my husband to the ground, and screaming at my children, the officers – armed with M16s – filed through the house like they were playing war. They searched for drugs and never found any.

I heard my baby wailing and asked one of the officers to let me hold him. He screamed at me to sit down and shut up and blocked my view, so I couldn’t see my son. I could see a singed crib. And I could see a pool of blood. The officers yelled at me to calm down and told me my son was fine, that he’d just lost a tooth. It was only hours later when they finally let us drive to the hospital that we found out Bou Bou was in the intensive burn unit and that he’d been placed into a medically induced coma.

For the last three weeks, my husband and I have been sleeping at the hospital. We tell our son that we love him and we’ll never leave him behind. His car seat is still in the minivan, right where it’s always been, and we whisper to him that soon we’ll be taking him home with us.

Every morning, I have to face the reality that my son is fighting for his life. It’s not clear whether he’ll live or die. All of this to find a small amount of drugs?

The only silver lining I can possibly see is that my baby Bou Bou’s story might make us angry enough that we stop accepting brutal SWAT raids as a normal way to fight the “war on drugs.” I know that this has happened to other families, here in Georgia and across the country. I know that SWAT teams are breaking into homes in the middle of the night, more often than not just to serve search warrants in drug cases. I know that too many local cops have stockpiled weapons that were made for soldiers to take to war. And as is usually the case with aggressive policing, I know that people of color and poor people are more likely to be targeted. I know these things because of the American Civil Liberties Union’s new report, and because I’m working with them to push for restraints on the use of SWAT.

A few nights ago, my 8-year-old woke up in the middle of the night screaming, “No, don’t kill him! You’re hurting my brother! Don’t kill him.” How can I ever make that go away? I used to tell my kids that if they were ever in trouble, they should go to the police for help. Now my kids don’t want to go to sleep at night because they’re afraid the cops will kill them or their family. It’s time to remind the cops that they should be serving and protecting our neighborhoods, not waging war on the people in them.

I pray every minute that I’ll get to hear my son’s laugh again, that I’ll get to watch him eat French fries or hear him sing his favorite song from “Frozen.” I’d give anything to watch him chase after his sisters again. I want justice for my baby, and that means making sure no other family ever has to feel this horrible pain.

Update: As of the afternoon of 6/24/2014, Baby Bou Bou has been taken out of the medically induced coma and transferred to a new hospital to begin rehabilitation. The hole in his chest has yet to heal, and doctors are still not able to fully assess lasting brain damage.

Alecia Phonesavanh is the mother of Bounkham Phonesavanh, nicknamed "Baby Bou Bou." She and her family live in Atlanta. For more information about Bou Bou, go to www.justiceforbabyboubou.com.

What Would Happen If a Thug WITHOUT a Badge Threw a Grenade on Top of a Baby?

What Would Happen If a Thug WITHOUT a Badge Threw a Grenade on Top of a Baby?

By Daisy Luther
The Organic Prepper
June 27, 2014

Last month, a family in Georgia had their lives turned upside down by a brutal home invasion.

Imagine this: You’re visiting a relative’s home because your own house was destroyed by a fire. You, your spouse, and your children are peacefully sleeping and you awaken to terrifying chaos: Loud bangs, men shouting, your children screaming…you have no idea what’s going on.

Then you realize that you are the victim of a home invasion – you’re under seige…but the criminals who have burst in unannounced and launched an assault have badges and uniforms so it’s somehow legal…

This is exactly what happened to the Phonesavanh family last month. It gets worse…in order to stun the slumbering family, a member of the SWAT team threw in a flash-bang grenade. It landed in the crib of 19 month old Bounkham “Bou Bou” Phonesavanh and blasted a hole in his little chest that actually made his rib cage visible to the casual observer.

The baby had a hole in his cheek, a large gaping wound in his chest, lost the use of one of his lungs, and suffered 3rd degree burns all over his small body. He was put in a medically induced coma, has undergone surgery, and doctors have yet to establish whether or not he will suffer permanent brain damage. He will most likely remain scarred for the rest of his life.


What is a flash-bang grenade? (Flash-bang makes it sound almost cartoonish, doesn’t it?)

Upon detonation, it emits an intensely loud “bang” of 170–180 decibels and a blinding flash of more than one million candela within five feet of initiation, sufficient to cause immediate flash blindness,deafness, tinnitus, and inner ear disturbance. Exposed personnel experience disorientation, confusion and loss of coordination and balance. While these effects are all intended to be temporary, there is risk of permanent injury or even death. (source)

Of course, when it lands right on top of you, in your bed, it’s a bit more than “disorienting.” It’s potentially deadly, especially for a baby.

Alecia Phonesavanh, BouBou’s mother, wrote a grim account of the attack – an attack for which no one has been held accountable. Here’s an excerpt – put yourself in this family’s terrifying position:

After our house burned down in Wisconsin a few months ago, my husband and I packed our four young kids and all our belongings into a gold minivan and drove to my sister-in-law’s place, just outside of Atlanta. On the back windshield, we pasted six stick figures: a dad, a mom, three young girls, and one baby boy.

That minivan was sitting in the front driveway of my sister-in-law’s place the night a SWAT team broke in, looking for a small amount of drugs they thought my husband’s nephew had. Some of my kids’ toys were in the front yard, but the officers claimed they had no way of knowing children might be present. Our whole family was sleeping in the same room, one bed for us, one for the girls, and a crib.

After the SWAT team broke down the door, they threw a flashbang grenade inside. It landed in my son’s crib.

Flashbang grenades were created for soldiers to use during battle. When they explode, the noise is so loud and the flash is so bright that anyone close by is temporarily blinded and deafened. It’s been three weeks since the flashbang exploded next to my sleeping baby, and he’s still covered in burns.

There’s still a hole in his chest that exposes his ribs. At least that’s what I’ve been told; I’m afraid to look.

My husband’s nephew, the one they were looking for, wasn’t there. He doesn’t even live in that house. After breaking down the door, throwing my husband to the ground, and screaming at my children, the officers – armed with M16s – filed through the house like they were playing war. They searched for drugs and never found any.

I heard my baby wailing and asked one of the officers to let me hold him. He screamed at me to sit down and shut up and blocked my view, so I couldn’t see my son. I could see a singed crib. And I could see a pool of blood. The officers yelled at me to calm down and told me my son was fine, that he’d just lost a tooth. It was only hours later when they finally let us drive to the hospital that we found out Bou Bou was in the intensive burn unit and that he’d been placed into a medically induced coma. (source)

I truly cannot even fathom the desperation those parents must have felt. Clearly the officers blocked Alecia’s view because they were horrified by the injuries they had just caused to the screaming child.

Incidentally, the person the police were looking for was not on the premises and no drugs were found. So this raid accomplished absolutely nothing except for the opportunity for the cops to dress up in their little black SWAT outfits, throw some grenades, and act macho. Well played, officers. You must be so proud of your heroic actions.

Thus far, from what I can find online about the case…no one has been fired. No one has been suspended. No one has been arrested. No one has been charged with a crime. No one has been forced to pay the medical bills for the injuries suffered by the child. No one is footing the bill for the hotel the family must stay in to be near their son.

But wait. There’s more.

Even more repulsive, Habersham County Sheriff Joey Terrell defended the actions of the SWAT team. Even though he claims they’d been staking out the house for days, they somehow had no idea that 4 children were present. (This is despite the minivan with the stick figures in the windows, the car seats, and the typical kid detritus like shoes and clothes and toys.) The raid was made based on a story by a confidential informant who claims to have bought $50 worth of meth from the nephew of the homeowner.

According to a report on RT, Sheriff Terrell…

…told the AJC the raid was properly executed, but ended in a tragic result. He defended the use of the no-knock warrant and lack of investigative work, saying that it would have risked revealing that the officers were watching the house.

The informant told police there were a couple of men standing “guard” outside the room – a converted garage area – where the Phonesavanhs were living. But the CI was unsure if the men were armed, and told police there were no children or dogs present in the home, CBS46 reported.

Surveillance on the house might have prevented the raid altogether. Thometheva wasn’t in the home when the police raided, and was later arrested along with three other people at a different house on a felony drug charge of distribution of meth, the AJC reported.

The Phonesavanh family is also criticizing the police for the way they used the stun grenade. “I was told they were suppose to roll those things,” Alecia said to the AJC. “If they had rolled it, it would not have landed on my son’s pillow.”

Terrell said the team used the device because the encountered resistance when trying to push the door open. “When they entered the door, they noticed it was a playpen, or like a pack-and-play type device,” he said to WXIA. “There was a young child in the pack-and-play.”

A family member disputes the police’s description, telling WXIA that the crib was seven feet away from the door, not propped against it. (source)

In a rather audacious and desperate game of “Pass the Buck” the Sheriff also commented that the nephew (who was later arrested SOMEWHERE ELSE and charged with possession) could be held accountable for Bou Bou’s injuries. Really? And this man was actually elected?

So these are the questions in my mind:



What would happen to a thug without a badge if he perpetrated this type of home invasion, resulting in such a traumatic injury to a baby? Considering the fact that you can get life in prison for a little bit of weed, I have to think that the punishment would be severe. So why on earth are the cops exempt from punishment for permanently scarring and nearly killing a toddler?

Why are these no-knock warrants occurring in situations that are far from life and death matters? It’s understandable if a person’s life is at stake, for example, in a suspected kidnapping. But where on earth was the probable cause to burst into the bedroom of a sleeping family?

Why isn’t every member of that SWAT team being prosecuted? And what about the judge who signed the warrant? The DA that asked for the warrant?

All of them are culpable. Every single person that thought this would be a good idea is guilty of harming a 19 month old baby. I’m sure no one set out to hurt a baby, but the fact remains, they did, and they are guilty of being negligent and careless, at the very least.
Where the heck is the accountability? They aren’t paying the child’s extensive medical bills, they aren’t paying the hotel bill for the struggling family, and they aren’t taking any responsibility for their actions.


When you are in a situation where you see people doing wrong, you are every bit as guilty if you don’t stop it. Not only is the person who threw that grenade at fault. What about the person who held Alecia Phonesavanh down while her baby was screaming in agony? What about the officers that waited before getting medical treatment for that poor suffering child? What about the people who said they were watching the house but didn’t notice the presence of FOUR CHILDREN? The judge who signed the warrant? The DA who asked for it?

Every person involved is as guilty as the unnamed cop who threw a grenade on top of a sleeping baby.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men should do nothing.”

~ Edmund Burke, 1770

It’s easy to say that all cops are not bad. And I’d really like to believe that. I would like to be able to tell my children that there is a group out there putting their lives on the line – a group you can depend on in a crisis situation – that the police are their friends.

But I can’t. Instead I tell them never to talk to police because much of the time, the purpose is to trick you into making yourself look guilty of something. I tell them not to open the door to police if they knock. I tell them that despite the uniform and the cop shows that portray them as heroes, police are generally not to be trusted. (Who can forget the warrantless searches in Boston last year when innocent families were marched out of their own homes at gunpoint?)

I’m sure that my opinion will not be a popular one, and that’s fine with me. I’m sure many people can tell stories about “good cops” that they know or are related to. I’m sure there are a lot of folks that want to believe the cops are there to help us.

The problem is, those who enforce the law should not only be held to the law, they should be held to a higher standard. Instead, it appears that police are held to no standard at all. They are increasingly brutal. They taze people. They beat people. They molest people. They kill the family pet. And they aren’t punished. They aren’t held responsible. What would happen if a thug WITHOUT a badge threw a grenade on top of a baby? Can you imagine the public outcry? That person would be lucky to make it to trial without being lynched. He’d never survive being in prison, because those who hurt children get a different kind of justice when they’re behind bars.

All of that changes when the thug throwing the grenade wears a badge and a uniform. The cops in America are becoming increasingly militarized, and this trend shows no sign of slowing down.

Personally, I can imagine no situation in which I would call 911 for police assistance because there are just too many stories about that going horribly wrong. (HERE, HERE, and HERE, for example) I don’t want them in my home. Their purpose is NOT to serve us and protect us. The people they serve are NOT the people in the community. Their purpose is to generate revenue for their cities or counties. It is to charge people with a crime and gather evidence to imprison them, because prisons are the new slave ships. Work done for pennies in a prison is making big bucks for industry, so this whole war on drugs baloney is really just a way to legally take people and enslave them, forcing them to perform labor for which other people realize profit.

Inquiries to discover whether the child’s very extensive medical bills are being paid by the county have not been answered at this time.

A press release issued by the Phonesavanh family’s attorney updates us on Bou Bou’s condition:

June 24, 2014 Atlanta, GA –Bounkham “Baby Bou Bou” Phonesavanh, the baby severely injured by a flash bang grenade thrown in his play pen by the Habersham Sheriff’s Department and City of Cornelia police raid, has been transferred to Children’s Scottish Rite Hospital to begin rehabilitation. The family, who was set to move back home to Wisconsin the day after the raid, continues to need financial support as they have been living in a hotel to remain closer to their son.

“I was able to hold my son and hear his voice for the first time since the grenade exploded. After all that has happened to him, I am amazed at his strength. He has a long way to go but our prayers are being answered. We feel like it’s a miracle.” Bounkham Phonesavanh, Father of Baby Bou Bou

All donations to the family can be made to a Wells Fargo Bank Trust account in the name of Bounkham Phonesavanh. Online donations be made at www.justiceandprayersforboubou.org

“ While this family is focused on the rehabilitation of their 19month old baby, the ACLU has lent their support releasing a report on S.W.A.T. teams and the militarization of police which includes Baby Bou Bou’s mother, Alecia Phonesavanh’s chilling story about what happen the day the grenade blew a hole in their son’s face and chest. This family could be any of us.” Attorney Mawuli Mel Davis, Davis Bozeman Law Firm

The ACLU report can be found on www.aclu.org/militarization. The family has set up a Facebook page to keep well-wishers apprised of the child’s condition can be found HERE. ”Like” the page to show your support to this little guy, the helpless victim of epidemic police brutality and carelessness.

Thanks to WeaponsMan, here is some additional information about this incident that may be of interest to the readers:


  • The individual who threw the grenade in Georgia had no such flash-bang certification. Neither did any of the SWAT members.
  • The thrower had not had any formal training on how to use the grenade, or its capabilities.
  • He’d never thrown one before.
  • The individual never looked in the room, but threw the grenade blind into the toddler’s crib.
  • The SWAT members didn’t just lie to the child’s stressed-out mother, Alecia Phonesavanh. They also lied to their superiors about the incident. Many departments will countenance the former, but not many have much toleration for the latter. (There’s also some question of the integrity of the officers in charge, who have previously been found to falsify records in other cases).
  • The SWAT team was all new and had conducted almost no individual and collective training.
  • They claimed they “knew” there were no children in the house, but no policeman had been in the house, and even their informant had not been inside. They actually had to move a baby stroller and walk past a minivan with four child seats to stack up on the house. Four child seats and a stroller are what an intelligence officer might call “indicators.”
  • News stories say the target of the raid was arrested “later,” but supposedly the investigation has uncovered that he was already in custody when the raid initiated. So the raid took place to grab a guy who was already in the back of a cruiser elsewhere. “Why waste a good (?) raid plan?” seems to have been their rationale.

I'm going to bet that it wasn't a whole SWAT team that affected the arrest.
