The only thing I'm curious about is how they'll spin this to completely absolve the police of any responsibility for their fuckup.

The couple lived less than 500 feet from Riley in a house that looked similar to his, but had a different address number and was on a different street.
How can we expect heavily armed men to read house numbers and street signs?!
Some other cops just did this same thing in Kentucky on Christmas eve over a stolen weed eater (the man who stole it was already in custody). Not only did they get the address wrong but were at the wrong wrong address (i.e. 419 Street Dr was the correct home, they thought it was 425 Street Dr, but then went to 475 Street Dr). They raided it at midnight and killed the homeowner when he answered the door with a gun.
Do Americans really have a right to bear arms? It's technically legal, but if police can murder you and get away with it when they catch you with a gun, that sounds like the consequences are a possible defacto death sentence.
They only sometimes murder you for it. But there's plenty laws where I'm from that are only sometimes enforced when the police catch you, and not by death.
Both of you to assume the police are literate.
The NYPD got sued because they refused to hire a man due to him scoring too high on a required IQ test.
He was literally too smart to be a cop in New York.
They don’t want smart cops. They want idiots with guns who will put boots on throats without a question or second thought.
Probably the same way they argued that cops don't have a responsibility to protect citizens nor do they have a responsibility to know or understand the laws they enforce.
They are just fast tracking it so they can give the police a free pass, which will make it easier for the new US gestapo to enforce MAGA violence against dissent.
They are going to make it so that you are personally liable for the cops emotional distress from raiding the wrong house.
It's kinda already happened. Cop murders guy in cold blood, on video, doesn't get charged, gets early retirement due to "PTSD" from murdering a guy, then is allowed to keep the murder weapon.
