It happens so many times, especially in Chicago.
A cop gets a tip from a criminal he turned.
Based on this alone, & no investigation or surveillance,
cops get a warrant to raid a home, with the requirement
to knock first. Then they....
Don't knock.
Kick in the door.
Curse & terrorize the family.
Don't give the victims a copy of the warrant as required by law.
Search the apartment.
Realize eventually it's the wrong apartment
Continue searching anyway, leaving the handcuffs on the victim.
Hope to find something to make the illegal search look better.
Never fix the extensive damage they caused.
Never even raid the intended apartment, which was upstairs.
This task force was the department's elite.
The taxpayers will eventually foot the bill.
