   It’s hard to understand why cops go to the “dark side” like this, when an apology and a large dose of dollars will usually fix everything up.

   Mistakes do get made on drug searches. I made one myself once, but since no one even went into handcuffs, the apologies of myself and my shift commander were accepted. Wasn’t a dynamic entry, either.

   What happened was simple: Neighbor calls cops when she sees pot growing in the rose garden next door. I arrive, in plain clothes, per orders, and pretend I’m a relative. We take a stroll in her garden, I confirm it’s pot.

   I write a search warrant, particularly discribing everything per the Constitution, and put on my uniform, go get the warrant signed by a judge (at his gym, in the steam room), and go serve the warrant. We thought of everything except that the house being on a corner, the backyard didn’t belong to the house I wrote the warrant for and then raided.

   Oops!

   The wronged tenant, a very pregnant Asian lady, never even wrote a letter. I had to write a report to the judge, who laughed his ass off next time I saw him. Especially since he was my uncle’s ex-law partner.

   This Atlanta case, of course, is no laughing matter, since someone is dead.

   She was a pretty good shot, though, or the cops that were hit used bad tactics. Hitting three before being killed is pretty decent in a gunfight that she couldn’t escape from, and given the crookedness of the cops involved, they probably would have killed her and planted the evidence anyway, so at least she got her pound of flesh.

   Well, apparently they weren’t “real ninjas,” i.e., SWAT. I saw at least one report that mentioned that they were plainclothes cops.

   Unfortunately, I’ve noticed when the government is involved, bad things only change when someone gets injured or dead. As much sympathy as I have for cops making actual mistakes and the family of this little old lady, I have to say “maybe this will change things”. With police making errors and thugs dressing as police to make home-invasion robberies, I prefer no-knock warrants not be done. A home-owner, innocent until proven guilty should be able to look at the warrant before their home is searched. At least this would prevent “whoops, wrong address” situations.
