FBI and Army Raid Wrong Hotel Room and Detain Regular Guest During Training Exercise

 

[RETOKSQUID]

For Efs sake! Who let the butter bar run the op?

 

[rickm]

Why in the world are they using private business to do training doesnt the .gov have enough of their own buildings they could use for this.

To be fair, it seems that in the real world lots of PD and SWAT teams raid the wrong houses....kill people doing it too and then go "oopsey QI" and move on.

That's a mucked up fess.

The room occupant will sue, get paid of course from the taxpayers, not the various law enforcement agencies involved. No one seems to ever be held accountable.

Was the detainee's name Donald Trump?

 

[TANSTAAFL]

Army? Do they not know what posse comitatus is?

"The Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law. This 143-year-old law embodies an American tradition that sees military interference in civilian affairs as a threat to both democracy and personal liberty."

Really disturbing.

 

[Waltercat]

Wonder if they had live ammo.

Do they ever use federal troops?
