Elderly man roughed up in botched drug raid

When you see stories like this, you know it's time to end the War on Drugs (as if this hasn't already been clear for years). Just end it.

Last week, I told you about a Georgia family that was roughed up when drug agents mistakenly raided their home - adding to a long string of similar incidents nationwide.

Now something similar has happened in Dallas, where an elderly gentleman in a small apartment was brutalized when deputies wrongly raided his place in a drug raid.

Yesterday morning, police came to the man's apartment with their guns drawn, violently pulled him out of the apartment, and tried to cuff him.

Police had the wrong residence. They were actually looking for a man who was only 27, while this man was clearly much older. But now it turns out that cops already knew he wasn't the right guy when he opened the door! But they tried arresting him anyway!

You read that right: They knew they had the wrong guy, but they tried arresting him despite knowing they had the wrong person. How ridiculous is that?

But hey. It's a "war" on "drugs."
