Terrible situation all around. I really, really hope that child can make a full recovery. The kid's parents weren't even the ones that were being looked for, and were staying at the house because their's recently burned down.

 

 

 

edit: I guess the guy they arrested wasn't even at the house during the raid. They got a him a few hours later at another house.

Good lord!! That's just awful. I just skimmed the article, but I wonder if this is common practice for these police raids. Or maybe they had reason to believe that the person they were after was armed and dangerous. Still seems a bit over the top.

The 2nd article says they had reason to believe that he was armed and dangerous. The intel that he was there couldn't have been very good, since he wasn't there.

I can't help but wonder if this woman knew what was going on in that house. I have a hard time believing that she didn't.

 

But man, what are the odds of the flash bang landing there?

They should sue the !@#$ out of the police and the city. That poor kid. I feel Terrible for him and the family.

 

I couldnt imagine the feeling of being a law abiding citizen and having the police conduct a raid like that against you and your family and they cause significant injury to a child. Holy crap.
