  1. I just read the NC ones. It seems to be a combination of poor investigation prior to the raid, mostly in not verifying info gleaned from CIs, an eagerness to conduct a raid, and poor individual training,especially keeping your finger off the trigger. This, to me, suggests poor leadership.

    On a possitive note, in Hendersonville
    Description: Several officers from the Hendersonville Police Department accidentally served a warrant at the residence of Dennis and Sandra Braswell. The officers were confused and separated from the other officers assigned to the raid because they had to cross a yard and hop a fence to get to the back door of the actual target?s house. When they entered the house, they found a party with underage drinkers. When the police realized their mistake, they left the premises. The officers apologized to the owners of the home and called the parents of the underage partygoers to come pick them up. The officers also offered to pay for the damages to the home. The rest of the raiding party surrounded the correct house and arrested the intended suspect.

    So, there are some good ones.
