Drug warriors break down wrong door (again)

Gee, what'll it be today? Work-for-less laws, uniforms, or oil company greed?

I know! How about another story about police breaking down the wrong door in a botched drug raid?

The ruling regime has gotten so predictable, hasn't it?

In Gwinnett County, Georgia, police decided to carry out a no-knock drug raid - which itself is probably illegal. But it turns out they raided the wrong house!

The purveyors of the failed War on Drugs barged right into a house unannounced and held an innocent family - including a 3-month-old baby - at gunpoint.

In addition to traumatizing the family, police also destroyed the house's front door.

The only major difference between this and other incidents like this is that usually the drug cops end up killing or physically injuring the innocent residents.

The problem of bungled drug raids is so out of control nationwide that Los Angeles police have now hired their own carpenter just to fix doors of people whose homes are wrongly raided.

As for the Georgia raid, police did eventually raid the right house. They found money, but there's no indication they ever found drugs.
