This has been too long in coming. Ah, Ms. Allen, but you let your son smoke a joint in your home. There was residue in your trash can. As far as the government is concerned, that makes you no better than a terrorist. And worthy of no better treatment than one. Also keep in mind, this is not a "botched" raid. The police did exactly what they intended. They got the right address. They found contraband. And they'll get two prosecutions out of this. For them, this case isn't a travesty, it's a victory. It's "protocol." Cases like this one are worth remembering when debating the overuse of SWAT teams. Botched raids make for sympathetic anecdotes. But the argument isn't that we shouldn't send SWAT teams out on drug busts because they frequently hit the wrong home. It's that in a free society, it shouldn't be "protocol" for the government to break down your door, set your house on fire, invade your home with assault weapons, and slaughter your family pet for the crime of lighting up a joint within the privacy of your own home. That's the argument. This is the one aspect I have not liked about Radley's...
