SWAT Team Destroyed Innocent Family's Home, Refused to Pay for Repairs

- Amy Hadley watched in horror as her home was raided by police and destroyed in South Bend, Indiana, in June 2022. Over a year later, her family is still traumatized and their home still bears the scars of the raid. And all of this happened because police were searching for a man who was never in their home and who had no connection to Amy’s family.
ij.org/case/south-bend-swat-d...
Noah Hadley, just 15 at the time, was the only one there when police surrounded his home and started calling for occupants to come out. He followed their instructions and told them he was the only one in the house. Officers cuffed Noah and took him away without letting him call his mom.
Amy arrived on the scene shortly after the officers took her son away. None of the officers believed Amy when she tried to explain that the officers had the wrong house. She watched from down the street as a SWAT team and other officers shattered windows with tear gas grenades, flooded the house with toxic fumes, upended furniture, tore down fixtures, punched holes in the walls, destroyed family photos and drawings, and rifled through the family’s belongings.
When the dust settled, the house was uninhabitable for days. Tear gas saturated everything, glass filled the beds, windows and walls were shattered and mangled. Amy and her family slept in her car. Amy tried to get answers and compensation from the government agencies. But they denied her requests. Her insurance company covered only part of the damage. She was left with thousands of dollars’ worth of damage to shoulder herself.
That’s both unfair and unconstitutional. When the government deliberately destroys an innocent owner’s property to serve a public interest-here, public safety-both the Indiana Constitution and the U.S. Constitution require the government to compensate the owner. The local governments in this case determined that the public benefit of trying to apprehend a fugitive outweighed the costs of damaging Amy’s property in the process. That was their decision to make, but they must pay for it.

If these repairs and the payouts for lawsuits came from their pensions instead of the tax payer, these cops would be a lot less of a threat.
Abolish qualified immunity!
Crazy that when they get it wrong and shoot at us, they get us to pay reparations to us for them
@@shadow83blk it’s cute that you think that would apply here.
Except for the part where they refuse to pay...but otherwise, perfect plan!
@@Invictus13666 they can't refuse if it's added debt, just like any other lawsuit
The fact that not a single officer on the scene was willing to stop and listen is freaking terrifying; the cops didn't care that they were at the wrong house.
when the red mist comes down it's pack mentality and all bets are off
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!
Orks would be a marked improvement to the police tbh @@GeorgeTaggert😂
Their ego is garbage.
Most LEOs I know (I know dozens), feel they are never wrong. Some are good people, and I really like them, but a lot are just entitled jerks.
And they wonder why millions of law abiding Americans have lost all respect for these tyrants
THEY" ARE COMPLACENTLY UNITED in the STATES OF US.
They’re foreign agents operation under City of London. File a claim against their bond number. Also research freemasonry and fraternal order of police. They’re one big ass mafia
If they were looking for a "suspect" why did they go through every dresser drawer and all of their possessions? Even going so far as looking in the refrigerator. Pure BS.
That's what I said. Pure bull.
_ welcome to the USA - the land of fentanyl abuse and the home of the homeless !
That's exactly what I came to say. Were they that stupid they thought he was in a drawer or the refrigerator? That was just malice.
He could be hiding in the Xbox, had to destroy it to be sure.
Yeah, weird. Did they think they'd find him crouched inside?
When police are not accountable to the public, we have a problem...
How are the police to be held accountable by the public when the public is playing video games and f/o on social media all day?
@@AjninHarufair point. But this your government and it’s disgusting how they treat their own citizens. It is the government that should be actively trying to compensate this family and every citizen when it does wrong.
Before cameras , qualified immunity was conspired for police to act this way with impunity! Now they are exploiting it in their actions using unlawfull tactics with carelessness and are now the blue line gang in America covered in tattoos like the prison gangs and care less about public safety , only concerned for officer safety ! Always film the police , they lie , cameras don't !
When were they ever accountable?

Excellent point!

And these idiot useless destroyers are HIGHLY OVERPAID with tax-payers money, while the continue destroying these INNOCENT tax-payers properties, could there be something SLIGHTLY WRONG HERE ???
👌👍
100%
That's how the wealthy elites operate, though. No compromises, no limitations, no apologies, and no consequences. 💪😎✌️ You can do whatever you wish, however you like, whenever you want as long as you got the COIN and CONTROL, baby! 😂 Everyone else needs to back off and stay in their lanes.
Depends where you live - they'd all have to enter witsec if they did this to anybody in our town.
What they have done by not paying for the damage is a CRIME . When you damage someone's property you are responsible for fixing it .
Law enforcement agencies will always use qualified immunity to protect them from their abuse, but before that they pass blame onto anyone but themselves for as long as they can. It will be years for the legal system to even consider a case and even when they feel like they've been caught they somehow get out of it with a slap on the wrist.
I don’t even believe that it was the wrong house, they just didn’t have a warrant and wanted in anyway. Busted in and found nothing which hurt their lil’ emotional ego
No consequences means no consequences. Plain and simple.
"THEY" ARE WE! "WE-s" HAVE ALLOWED, VOTED, BACKED, BY OUR PERSONAL PREFERENCES, THROUGH VOTING AND ENDORSING THE ERRONIUSLY CONCIEVED ELECTORAL APPORTIONAL SYSTEM.
They are above the law. It's like movie magic. They can destroy property and lives, then the next scene they're at the police station yukking it up. Movie magic.... End of scene, because the stuff they are actually doing can't be real.
It blows my mind that anyone in America would still want anything to do with these tyrants.
What's the alternative? If someone breaks into your house who are you going to call? A hippie, antifa, local meth head, or the crypts?

But on the bright side, Two Nevada troopers picked a fight with some guys pickup truck and failed miserably !! 😆@@mikemiller659
Noah the son was inside home playing video games. So he can be cuffed, and taken to jail? For what?
Are we watching the same video? 😂
@@mikemiller659 He did absolutely nothing wrong. They arrested him and took him away simply for being there.

Police need to be held responsible for their actions and mistakes.
Y don't say

@@GeorgeTaggert What are you even on about?
Inthink gge knows now where i stand
@@GeorgeTaggert oh be quiet. You guys assume so much. Who is to say that YOU aren't the person they were looking for? see how that sounds?
I'm so disgusted for this family. Thank you IJ for taking their case.
DISGUST IS ENUMERATED IN $$$ DONATED TO IJ' s LEGAL HUMANITARIAN SERVICE.
I love you Institute for Justice. Police have zero empathy. They need to do more than "cover the cost." This family was terrorized.
The officer looking thru small drawers for an adult human being tell you all you need to know about
A) educational background
B) were they looking for someone or SOMETHING to substantiate breaking in the ladies house.
The cops will just say that they were looking in the drawers to make sure that they weren't "fake" drawers with a spot behind them for someone to hide.
Looking for lingerie. You know they are!
The #1 reason for looking for this guy was probably because he had access to criminal gains, AKA money!
That way the police could take the money. All for donating it to charity ofcourse, there is no way they would keep it for themselves.😂
That's what I was thinking - they expect a full grown man to be hiding in the drawers? Everything about this angers me.
@@MichelleCannon looking for ANYTHING that would validate their search. Like lingerie
If they were at the wrong house, how can this be in the course of their duties. This should be a violation on the city and department for hiring people who can not read.
Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda
Ultimately that's beside the point: what if a fleeing criminal broke into your house and thus the police were at the right house? There needs to be a process in place to cover innocent people when their property is destroyed in the course of an investigation, whether that investigation was in error or not!
@@wilfdarr she stated her cameras showed no one entering the house that was not supposed to be there. but the cops did not want to hear it.
It wasn't the door number they went off. IT people told them it was this house according to ip addresses. She said Internet. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending them
@@wilfdarr I would have agreed with you, if you had added "They KNEW the criminal was in the house!" As you didn't add that. That means you justify the cops raping children, killing blacks and everything else. Because it is their job. That is why you will be called a BOOT LICKER.
Police need to be held accountable and liable for their irresponsible actions. No more immunity.
exactly...they could've gotten themselves killed and/or killed others for nothing...you can't just raid someone's house on a whim and no warrant....there was literally no extrainuous circumstances there.
@@cavemantero Exigent circumstances?
Why do they need to look in the fridge, the drawers? This level of abuse is beyond a felony. It's life threatening and should be responded to as such.
Trying to find anything that they could pin on them.
How can DoorDash drivers get addresses so right but they can’t?Wow, they took him to jail? But they didn’t even know who they were looking for??? Destroyed the house too? How incompetent can they be?
Because the average doordash worker is more intelligent than the average cop
Man they don't ever get my address correct.
Recently a house a few lots away was built partly over the property line. A well drilling company dug a 400' well on the wrong lot several years ago.
Several cities have ordered the wrong demolished or seized. Several roofing companies have removed the wrong roof, then failed to fix their mess.
A hospital in the East Coast did several wrong side brain surgeries decades ago, one even while they were under scrutiny.

@@dangeary2134 That's right. Thank you
This stuff has to stop happening.
Waters - Why does it have to stop happening? It's going to get much worse.
This isn't America anymore. We live in a Police State.
The American people are asleep and they don't care.
They allowed this country to become a fascist state.
Qualified immunity equals zero responsibility. Cops are the sovereign citizen of our land.
It only stop happening as long as we stop following Politicians blindly
I hear more about these incidents than mass shootings
until laws are passed at the federal level to stop it things will remain the same.
Thank you for doing the work you do.
This should never happen and our government is out of control.
marinosipod - And it is YOUR job to hold YOUR government accountable so that it doesn't get out of control.
So get busy!
The comment asking you to go out and rebel is not wrong. It's just very difficult. He would absolutely lose his life.
Welcome to the United Police States of America.
Nothing will change until the cops become accountable for the settlements from their own pockets or pension fund.
"pockets or pension fund" that's a weird way to spell "life."
They want armored vehicles. They want to point them at you and me.
This is why I donate to IJ. They stick up for the people who can’t do it on their own and stand against a tyrannical government.
If that was my govnment I'd votem out . If that didn't change their disgusting policing I'd move to canada
if i was in the usa..and not broke...i'd donate to 2A groups for the same reason
At what point are civilised western democratic countries going to outlaw and ban this maniac behavior from travelling anywhere beyond its border?
@@LeadDingo
Voting them out is a lesson in futility. You can’t vote against, only for. But they are like the sides of dice. Different faces on the same body!
If justice is served then they all will be able to retire from the settlement.
South Bend and any agency involved needs to pay a steep enough price to deter further actions like this. Law makers need to step up
And the officials involved sued personally only then will they stop and think for a moment "should we be doing this?"
1. kid just came out
2. Home owner and daughter just came home and says you have the wrong address.
3. The house is surrounded and not going anywhere.
4 let's destroy it for fun😂 yippee!
What a cast of clowns.
Like their entire yearly budget! Nobody gets paid for a year.
@@stanmonk2851Sadly even if they win the money will not come from police department..
This is why you need to fight for the end of "Qualified Immunity".
People make mistakes. What is truly sad is the fact that there are so many lawless people who hate the cops and want to be able to commit their crimes without being detained. @@highlandermachineworks5795
I am sick of this no accountability society. Stand up and admit when you're wrong that is integrity
To all auditors: Keep fighting the good fight! Until these public servants realize integrity and accountability are values not to be feared, you are needed! Thank you for your service.
When it comes down to the basics of doing the right thing…you KNOW you can’t count on law enforcement. You can’t deny history.
Law enforcement has been on the WRONG side of history since before Jesus was crucified by Pontious Pilate!!! Just look at segregation, prohibition, Waco and MANY other instances!!!!
IS IT WORTH THE EFFART? "WHINERS WROTE YOUR FICTIONAL HISTARIA. FLOR- I- DUH'S GOV-NER SPARK-PLUGS MOB PSYCHOLOGICAL HERDS FEARS OF CRT AND "OTHERS" EVEN TO THE ANTI CONSTITUTIONAL RETRACTION OF "NATIONALIZED CITIZENS"!
I spent a decade as a tactical medic with a full time team and this is a failure at so many levels its mind-boggling. Step 1 of any raid was to check, double-check and then cross triple check and confirm the correct address for the op. Hitting the wrong location is such a fundamental misstep that we had systems in place specifically to avoid as many potential human errors as possible. It would take a lot more space to cover all of the terrible tactical decisions made once they actually arrived at the house, but to say it was utter lunacy and chaos would be an understatement. Overall, every single operator involved in this raid needs some serious remedial training and the dept needs to step up and do the right thing.
Thank you for stating how things are supposed to be done and apparently how they were done in the past. Were these just cops or were feds involved? There is a lot of anger about police in the comments. I think we should have all learned by now that police are necessary and often of such good character and intent it can make a person cry. But many of those good cops were run off during the defund the police movement in response to the lies of BLM. It is likely that the replacements will be thugs like the feds. Maybe this is what we are seeing.
Police departments are responsible for the training and actions of their officers. Incompetence is on them.@@marthaolmsted4029
But then you don't get to use your tax payer funded toys to destroy tax payer homes, since you never face any accountability why not? Why do people hate cops? I wonder.
Government is not your friend.
This is a really bad situation. Every United States citizen should be scared. Very grateful for the work that the Institute for Justice does.
I get two or three calls a year asking me to donate to the "Policemans Fund". I never have donated and I never will. Police see themselves as a big hammer and citizens are the nail.
Wait so they arrested an innocent kid and just threw him in jail? How long?
If the police were looking for a person then why were they looking through dresser drawers?
I thought the same thing...probably because they were hoping to find some weed and use it to "justify" their ridiculous behavior, after all, a large portion of americs hears "drugs" and immediately thinks that all constitutional rights shouldn't matter #EndDrugProhibition
And breaking security cameras, does that help find the suspect too?
Easy answer .. If they are looking for a criminal then other criminal activities may be uncovered. Dresser drawers can hide Illegal drugs, firearms additional evidence etc.
@@rsmith3062 They break the security camera for "officer's safety." A bad guy could be watching the cops on the cameras.
They were looking thru drawers because they knew by then that they had the wrong house. They had to try to find something to justify their tactics and the damages as well as the expence of the weapons used.
Nothing but malicious destruction.
These are the enemies our founding fathers warned us about.
When I was a property manager in the 1980s, one of the properties was raided for drugs. Legitimate warrant but wrong address--the warrant was for (made up address) 1234 Buffalo Street and the property that was raided was at 1234 Broad Street (over a mile away). What made it even more egregious was that it was a corner lot and there was a city street sign literally in the front yard. At first, they refused to show the warrant to the tenants as they held them handcuffed at gunpoint outside in 20 degree weather in their socks.
One of them managed to talk the apparent commander into showing him the warrant and, after he took one look at the front page, he pointed out the discrepancy in the address and mentioned the city street sign in the front yard (just feet away) as proof of his word. For his pains, he was thrown to the ground and accused of attempted escape.
These were not mouthy college kids. They were all Asian grad students in physics or biology, hard at work on their Ph.Ds. They were polite and unassertive to a fault. They were taken to jail and the end to their nightmare happened when one of them used their phone call to call their country's consulate in Chicago, who immediately hired a lawyer in Iowa, who immediately put the fear of the law into the police department on behalf of his client and the other 3 tenants.
That's when my nightmare began. The city immediately agreed to settle but it was paperwork hell. I can't even imagine what it would have been like if there had been more than one agency or jurisdiction involved or if the mistake had been less glaringly stupid and preventable. It still turned into the torture of a thousand paper cuts.
My landlord went above and beyond for his tenants--refunded them the month's rent they'd paid plus their security deposit, put them up at his expense at a hotel while I helped them search for a new place (the old place took over 3 months to repair to be habitable) and was fine with me spending as much tine as needed to get them resettled.
Thank you for being a kind & decent person I'm sorry for the hell you had to go through and what the students had to endure. Absolutely shameful behavior by the authorities 😥
@@riahynanevamynd7698 The creepiest thing the police did that night was tip over the 300 gallon aquarium belonging to one of the tenants (with permission). He was so proud of his tropical fish and whenever I went over there, he would show me changes he'd made, point out the different habitats he'd created within the aquarium for each type of fish, etc.
For some reason, the officers thought they had to search the aquarium for drugs and they did it by tipping it over, leaving the fish to die on the floor. Leaving living animals to die painfully. I think it must have been at least two officers because that tank weighed 2,400 pounds in water plus the glass, the filtration equipment, etc. Not easy to tip over.
It was so disturbing to think of the sort of person who would callously kill living creatures that way. I'm a cheerful omnivore but I don't eat things that are tortured to death. And I don't want to see any living creature killed for no reason at all.
Remembering it still gives me the chills.
American policing isn't broken. It's functioning exactly as the wealthy and powerful want.
Exactly....NEVER FORGET that the police are here to maintain class antagonisms
Actually it is the lack of accountability and responsibility
The fuzz and all other public employees are the enemy and ALL that it entails.
The wealthy? I dont think this is some big conspiracy, this is just how people abuse power when we let them.
dont forget!! THE USA = BROKEN!! whashahahaah
This is the result of failure to hold law enforcement accountable for their screw ups. No real consequences, no incentive to get it remotely right. 🤬
There’s a reason why we keep saying that the cops are not here to help, they escalate every situation and bring chaos to every encounter.
It's hundreds of families a month in my town. No one seems to care until they get theirs. It's scary having them point the guns at me. I'm so peaceful but they look at my face and assume.
I just do not understand how stuff like this happens, How could they get the WRONG HOUSE and then NOT DO THE RIGHT THING and REPAIR ALL THE DAMAGES?
Not sure if this is true but I read somewhere that in some cities the police have written into city laws
That the police are not responsible for any damage they cause "in search of lawbreakers " whether they are in the right place or not.
For instance the woman in Oklahoma
who had her home destroyed by police searching for her ex husband, they destroyed her and her children's beds, and other furniture left holes in the house and made the house otherwise unlivable, and the Ex husband wasn't even there, and the police say they aren't responsible for the damage.
Or the time the police were looking for a suspect and he ran in to a business and the police basically destroyed his business don't remember what happened to the suspect
But police again say they are not responsible for the damage
The old "we are just doing our job " line
Cops don’t care about the middle class
People enjoy pleasure rather than God..... People enjoy having fun more than being holy..... This is led to all kinds of weird unhealthy beliefs in america.... So people think police should only be done by the have traded their freedom for so called security....
People have allowed the families to be broken... America thinks it's noble to have single family holmes led by women with children..... America thinks it's okay to have women in a workforce.... People think it's righteous to have the government educate your children down.... People think it's o k to pay a bunch of idiots run around with balls and fields and courts.....
Arrogant, egotistical, and entitled individuals always abuse their positions of power
@OwlWhite12 True.... but we're are the good people to make change to prevent this abuse??
From the tactical guys (SWAT) I've met, especially in less used, smaller teams, they get excited to use their toys and will justify using them all for "Officer safety"
It would be interesting to depose the incident commander, intelligence officer and tactical officer to justify the use of all the equipment, refusal to use house cameras(intelligence), break the cameras, and detainment of the minor without notifying his parent
That's also partially due to them generally only being SWAT part time. They do other LE duties when not on a callout. While they absolutely do still train, it isnt anywhere near as frequent as a f/t team. And as you rightly pointed out, they also have little real world experience handling incidents requiring SWAT. Im shocked these guys werent tossing 9-bags all over the yard and using the 40 to launch gas at the neighbors to cover their advance just in case, I mean clearly it's a warzone with how they acted.
I don't want children who are excited to use their toys on our police forces. I want adults who consider the impact their actions could have on the everyday citizens they interact with.
Cop 101: when you have an entire neighborhood yelling that you have the wrong house, that's proof that you got it right since everyone's a criminal...
At least they made it home at the end of the day right?
I have a VERY VERY low opinion of lawyers in general, but you guys give me some hope that there are good people in that profession. God bless you guys and your work!
They literally ruined their home for no reason and won’t pay for any of it at all. This can happen to anyone. And I’m
Not even understanding why they were there…they thought the suspect was using the internet at that address? Huh? Sounds fishy.
This whole thing just seems like overkill. Why were so many belongings smashed, knocked over, and ransacked? Were the police punishing this family for yelling (correctly) that they were at the wrong home?
If someone parks outside your house and gets on your internet, then it shows that they are using the internet at your house.

We destroyed your house for officer safety.
Thank you for your support.
My brand new vehicle was recently just obliterated by Fairfax county police here in Tysons Virginia due to a pit maneuver that resulted in the squad car AND the suspect crashing into my parked vehicle , not only have they refused to pay, they’re making me wait on my police report.
Of course, the police simply can't do anything wrong, sorry I wanted to write :"THE POLICE CAN'T OBVIOUSLY DO ANYTHING RIGHT".

There is no way any government organization or agency should get away with this. If they destroy anything, they should be made to make full restitution swiftly.

Why are the police going through her things if they’re looking for a person?
Wow how can they get away with this!?! This is the definition of a police state!!!
"We're from the government, we can do whatever we want." - These useless bureaucrats
Yes Daniel.
And We The People do nothing about it.
Scariest thing you'll ever hear: "We're from the government; we're here to help you."
Never give a local tactical team an excuse to use their toys...
The reason why they are searching their belongings is so they can find an excuse to pin a crime on them.
That's just crazy. Zero accountability on the police force. Then they ask for trust? I grew up blue, this is heartbreaking
More law enforcement misconduct
I agree there's no reason to destroy the House they should be sued
Edit. You should file a civil suit on your son’s arrest, false imprisonment, mental and emotional anguish. Contact a civil attorney. Then get the house fixed!
That's right... insurance companies do not cover/compensate for damages related to a crime. It's in the fine print.
Innocent people get caught up in these situations and wind up paying a heavy price.
I'm so glad there's an organization willing to fight for them.
Literally live 1.5 hrs away and this is just typical police activity here. Hell we cant even record within 25ft of the “peace officers” duties with out getting threatened with obstruction and contempt of cop.
If your child mentions anything about working as a police officer when he grows up, immediately seek assistance from a qualified mental health professional.
As a former police officer I approve of this comment haha. If my sons ever mention serving in the military or being a police officer, the answers gonna be hell no. Cops are just certified gang members with immunity.
The family needs to sue them as an eminent domain lawsuit... it goes around that fricking qualified immunity crap
This is a horrible byproduct of the militarization of our police forces. They stop acting like police, they stop investigating in the name of officer safety at the expense of public safety.
Exactly right. Police acting as an occupying force leads to this, and the whole "thin blue line" bullsh!t needs to end. Civilian oversight boards should be the norm.
Police are the DOMESTIC TERRORISTS with BADGES.
This is NOT militarization of the police force.
This is the formative years of an early gestapo.
A soldier who hurts a pow while subduing them will get years behind bars, a cop wont.
When the girl explained, it's the wrong house... I could just hear the cops standard reply: Well, we don't know that for sure... Then, followed up with their second standard
reply: Well, for officers safety ...
Imagine knowing your immune from any sort of accountability that you don't even feel the need to double check an address or look at the video?
I’m retired Sheriff’s K9 Sgt. I spent 9 years on the SWAT team. Our Sheriff hired a complete idiot for the narcotics unit, we all knew it. One day we were told raid two houses that were cooking meth. The idiot got one of the search warrants for the WRONG house. The team that raided the wrong house found the occupants in the bed having “relations” and ripped the covers off to make sure there wasn’t a gun under the blankets. There was a gun that’s was cocked and loaded, only not the kind of gun they were looking for. Thankfully I was on the team that raided the correct house. The !d10t that caused the catastrophe was not fired, shortly thereafter I quit the team cause I wasn’t gonna get tied up in one of his screw ups. I don’t know what happened in the courts because of this screw up.
And as usual, the cops investigated themselves and found themselves innocent of everything...but have charges for the family for daring to question them.
That's infuriating. Of course the city or state should pay to fix every issue. They could even say "We don't have to legally, but we are the good guys". It would be a rounding error on their budgets, but no, they have to be jackwagons. 🤬
Thankyou IJ for all you do.
The city and PD should pay for all the repairs. I hope they file a federal lawsuit
So they arrest a 15 year old that was innocent (not not guilty, but innocent) and haul him off to jail. Destroy the house and they think that's not on them. It does look like there are several things damaged that wouldn't have to be damaged when you look for a person. Why are all the cameras destroyed?
@Thomas1942 :
The cameras were destroyed "for officer safety", 'cause god only knows who's watching the video from them.
If they were Ring ® cameras the camera owner would have to beat the coppers to the corporate office to obtain the unedited "footage" from the company's cloud storage.
I wish my kid would become a lawyer and work for you guys .
I hope the son can file a suit for what the police did to him also. This is absolutely terrifying.
The incompetence of law enforcement is an epidemic in this country.
But that one is actually a plandemic.
Numbers are HARD 🥵! Police are casually indifferent to the hardships these blatant "mistakes" cause! Maybe they need some refrigerator magnets to refresh their "education"!
Thanks for the great service you are providing!
their 'mistakes' can cost lives
This level of incompetence wouldn't be tolerated at McDonald's! An internet IP as grounds for a search warrant ! Unbelievable! They don't know that IP can be masked.
That's because employees at McDonald's can be fired unlike the police.
@@Strideo1:
Oh, even coppers can be "fired", but, unless their POST, or equivalent certificate is revoked, they just become a "gypsy" copper.
The stuff of nightmares. Hope IJ gets them the justice they deserve!
These agencies need to pay up- this woman needs to have her house restored and her family will need ongoing therapy for the trauma they've endured. Ridiculous.
There is no justice!
The feds should step in and investigate the local government and its police for civil rights violations and the homeowner should sue the city for every penny it has. Let its officials explain to its taxpayers why they have to pay a substantial damage settlement.
Murray - LOL - The FEDS???!
You've got to be joking.
Are you not watching what the Feds are doing to the J6 folks?
Calling the Feds is like calling the Gestapo and the Secret Police. Please, wake up.
The feds are a large part of the problem...
the feds were involved. That is what the main problem is. Feds have 0 accountability.
The feds are far worse
Thank you, Institute for Justice.
You go, IJ! I is horrible that these things don't CLEARLY fall under a "takings" clause. No single person is supposed to bear the brunt of the cost for "public good".
The government deemed it necessary to take control of her home for public safety, eminent domain, now that they are done it should be returned to former condition. AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE.
2:39 Good on those officers for being thorough! You never know if the suspect might have been hiding in one of those drawers
I noticed that too. Those guys are just sick.
The guy the Bullies with a Badge were looking for might have been in a drawer! They ruined this kids x-box! Absolutely DISGUSTING!! Prayers for a speedy and successful recovery from these imbeciles 🙏🏻
Maybe it's just my age, but I'm torn apart by the loss of irreplaceable photos - of deceased family members. Gone forever. X-box doesn't even come close.
That's one fat law suit right there. Sue the crap out of them !!!!
This reminds me I need to send more money to the Institute for Justice. I hope they can institute some justice for this family.
This case is an example of why a free American citizen must defend their home against all enemies foreign and domestic
That's a principled position. One wonders who will live through the experience when surrounded by armed men with violence on their minds (from multiple agencies)? We would have to begin backing one another up when the police arrive.
@@draighodge6039 it certainly is and I often contemplate how can I respect myself & the sacrifice made by millions if I’m not willing to Fight until death for Not only my Country, my Community, my Family & my home & my land? Most of us would say without hesitation “if we are invaded by a foreign enemy I’ll fight in the streets” so how’s fighting for your home against all enemies foreign & domestic? After all, it’s in the oaths all tyrants take.
Police raided my first apartment looking for the previous tenant. Trashed the place , destroyed a beautiful antique door, several doors as they got the wrong apartment!!
My stuff was destroyed, the landlord charged me and my roommate fir the damages. They broke my computer, my stereo, our tv, dumped our clothes and then dumped stuff on top including paint, soaps cleaning supplies etc in a big pile that ruined everything.
They left with a "warning"
Warning us not to do what? Be completely innocent? Rent an apartment? Or seeking justice? The last one was what they didn't want.
A very similar thing happened to me. A swat team shot out every window in my house in January. 18 teargas grenades in a 1.5k sq ft house. They never arrested anyone, to my knowledge there was no crime committed. It was like they used my house for a training exorcise. I tried to find a lawyer that would sue the city for damages, every lawyer I talked to looked scared to death and would not take my case. That caused me to think hard, and the conclusion that I have come to is that I can go just about anywhere in the world and get as good, if not better treatment than here in the US. I am a decorated veteran of a foreign war, and this is what I get for my efforts and patriotism, you know I feel like a fool... The very next day, I went out for dinner as my house was rendered useless, had a couple drinks because my PTSD was triggered I think, and got a big fat DUI. This happened 11 years ago, almost to the day. Now, everything I have is paid off, my son is legally an adult, and I am saving money to get the hell out of this giant narcissism factory. If I die in this country, it's only because I didn't leave fast enough. The judicial system in this country has been broken for many decades, maybe from the very beginning, from the cop on the street all the way to the supreme court and everything in between, not to exclude lawyers, and instead of fixing anything about it, they choose to make everything worse year by year. There is no doubt in my mind that it will eventually be the death of this union. If they would only put a few questions about civil rights, or the constitution on the police exam, it would make a huge improvement, but nope, they won't to do that. Law enforcement knows less about the law, than the average 8th grader, why? You would think that would be important for them to know, and it is, but they are the only ones in our society that are not held accountable by the law, that's why. They don't have to, and they don't want to. Meanwhile, I have told everyone I can tell, the next sob to shoot my house up is catching a .308 in the forehead, and I don't care, not even a little bit, what color shirt they are wearing. I have already cleaned up all the glass and teargas I am going to clean up in this life.
Just absolutely disgusting and inexcusable…. How on earth can anyone even try to claim that police have no responsibility to pay for their own incompetence and disregard for the rights and property of citizens?
Because without Sovereign Immunity (& Qualified Immunity), apparently cities and PDs would g9 bankrupt due to their rampant corruption and incompetence!
First. Thanks for all the great work you do!❤
I knew of the kid in this video cuz he went to my high school. Never talked to him but saw him in the hallway a lot. I hope in their lawsuit, they get millions of dollars.
a government agency destroying someones property is a Government agency Depriving someone of their property without just compensation. Violating the 5th Amendment.
God bless The Institute for Justice and I pray for this family. Shame on all those officers who participated in this and yet hide from the consequences of their wrongdoing. May the Lord bless this family and may they be made as close to whole as possible.
Amen ❤
It does not matter if it was the wrong house. The power of the state is immense and they have weapons of war they want to use on you.
Thank you
The government should always be responsible in situations like this. The least they can do is fix the damage they did.
