SWAT Raided Her Home Looking For Someone Already in Jail

Not only was he in jail, he had been in jail for 4 months. A simple Google search could have shown that. Atlanta Woman Sues Officers, U.S. Government for Wrongly Raiding Her Home in Search of Man Already in Jail - Institute for Justice

I have covered cops not knowing how to read a map. I have covered cops lying. This is perhaps the stupidest thing I have seen cops do. Perhaps.

Before the sun came up, Cathy George heard a loud pounding at her door. When she answered with her small, frightened dog in her arms, she found a heavily armed SWAT team of U.S. Marshals and DeKalb County sheriff’s deputies. After officers pulled her into the hallway and surged into her home, it became clear that they were searching for a man named Joshua Smiley.

But Smiley had been in jail for months, and the raid on Cathy’s home was both a terrible mistake and a violation of the U.S. Constitution and Georgia laws.

This doesn't even cover the fact that Cathy George had lived in her apartment for 3 or 4 years, and had never heard of Joshua Smiley.

So how did cops screw up so badly? All they will say is that they "made a mistake."

This is the Institute for Justice video He Was Already in Jail—So Why Did SWAT Raid Her Home?

And as stupid as this is, the record for the most useless SWAT team in America is still held by our friends from Uvalde, Texas. (Don't they look snazzy in their outfits?)
