Topic: Retired Military Translator's Home Reportedly Raided in DEA | |
---|---|
I am of the opinion that when law enforcement screws the pooch in such a way as this that the commanding officer in charge needs to held accountable for all damages and if a person should die in the process tried for manslaughter. When executing a warrant it is the agencies duty to make damn sure they have all their faculties in order before kicking in someones door. Its situations like this I wish the home owner blew everyone of them away. Nothing is going to happen to anyone involved in this and Mr. Tossa will be lucky if he gets so much as a "sorry" from the feds.
A retired military translator who served in Iraq says he was treated like a criminal when agents from the DEA barreled into his Detroit home just after 2 a.m. Tuesday morning, MyFoxDetroit.com reported. "As soon as I opened the door, somebody grabbed me and took me outside and put me on the grass," Ramsey Tossa said. “The first thing I thought was they were terrorists who want to kill me because I served in Iraq.” Tossa and his family were asleep at the time. He woke up when he heard loud banging on the door. He was taken outside, had lasers trained on him and saw agents dragging his wife and daughters who were “half naked.” “I kept asking, what’s going on?” he said. “And they held my neck to the ground so I can’t talk.” He began to have chest pains and paramedics eventually took him to a nearby hospital, reported the station. According to the report, the DEA was executing a search warrant for Tossa’s landlord’s son, who apparently uses Tossa’s one-story house’s address for mailing. The DEA told the station that it is taking Tossa's complaint seriously. “Before they raid any house, they should have more information,” Tossa said. “Not rumors.” Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/07/31/retired-military-translators-home-reportedly-raided-in-dea-mix-up/#ixzz1TkNF23rg |

They had a warrant. They made a soft entry and secured the house before they let their guard down to talk to the residents. Big deal.

They had an inaccurate warrant because they didn't do their homework properly. Tell ya what slick, let them do this to you then we can have this discussion about it being a "big deal". |

I've actually been arrested before because of a traffic ticket that I paid they didn't enter the payment right and it wen't to warrant. I was released almost immediately, no harm no foul. Mistakes happen. Life goes on. |

Doesn't matter, this isn't the first time something like this happened and apparently police are too stupid to learn from past mistakes. I can give my neighbors address as my own and if they kick in their door its on them. There is this little thing called "surveillance" and it goes a long, long way. |

I agree, but they have to do what they feel is right and if they screw up then they have to answer to it. This is one of those "Grey Area" incidents. If this guy wasn't a veteran this wouldn't have even made the news............ |

There is absolutely 0 excuse for this happening and for anyone to shrug their shoulders and say "mistakes happen" is also inexcusable. The Sheriff's swat team served a warrant here about 20 years ago and kicked in the front door of an elderly couples home and the woman had a stroke and died from it. Police MUST be held accountable for these "mistakes". |
