“Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank has issued an apology after narcotics detectives raided the wrong home and pointed a gun at its 76-year-old female resident,” sfgate.com reports. “Burbank said the woman was not injured when the search warrant was executed late Wednesday night, but one officer was placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation. ‘She’s certainly had the event of a lifetime—” Pause. Is that supposed to be a joke? Play. “—‘This was a mistake. It should not have happened.'” As Rafiki said to Simba, it is time. Time to ban ‘no-knock’ raids. I know it’s not my ass on the line, but if the search is highly dangerous, suck it up. Oh wait; it could be my ass on the line. Even if my name isn’t on the warrant.
