The mayor of Elyria has ordered a probe after the woman who lives at the home accused police of raiding the wrong house, an incident that she said left her baby with severe burns.
The mayor of Elyria, Ohio, has ordered an investigation after a woman alleged that police officers who raided her home had the wrong address and deployed flash-bang devices that sent her 1-year-old to the hospital with burns.
Police have offered a conflicting account of what happened Jan. 10, saying in a statement Friday that they had executed a search warrant at the correct address and the child did not “sustain any apparent, visible injuries.”
Courtney Price says audio from her Ring camera proves them wrong. In a clip shared exclusively with NBC News on Tuesday, someone can be heard saying “it’s the wrong house.” It is not clear who made the remark because the camera fell to the ground and went dark after police deployed the flash-bang devices.

Much like murdering peoples’ dogs, it happens waaaay more than it should.
Here are a couple more examples:

So if it wasn’t the police action that caused the burns, what did? It’s an easy question to answer: it was the police action. The pre-existing conditions had nothing to do with them picking the wrong house and burning a kid.
“Price said she learned police had visited the home at least five times within the past year. “The landlord even told [police] she had new tenants,” she said.”
They knew and they went for it anyway. Typical.
That baby already looks tired of this shit.
“Raises new questions,” no the fuck they did not. It raised the same question it raises every time; why are these clowns allowed to do this bullshit with 0 accountability?
Is this the same baby that got flash banged a few years ago and the family is still trying to get justice for what happened? Or is this another baby that got flash banged? Either way, it’s fucking disgusting and outrageous!
That big case a few years ago was in GA I think
Another flashbanged baby aside: No knock SWAT raid for a kid who stole stuff seems uh… insane?
Fucking drench every one of those corrupt pigs who dare to call themselves police with oil and set them on fire. Maybe that will send a message to NOT. FUCK. WITH. KIDS. I am done negotiating, it’s time I started fucking dealing punches to the corrupt bureaucracy. All of you start fucking demanding these asshole’s heads, the heads of Trump and Putin and Xi Xinpeng and Trudeau and the government of Iran and both the Hamas and the Israeli government, or you are not fucking human in my eyes, you are a monster who feeds off the blood of children. DO. NOT. HURT. KIDS. END OF STORY.
Apparently we now live in a world where toddler abuse is more acceptable than basic reproductive health care…
American police put a child in the hospital, but refuse to acknowledge it had been hurt in any way, shape or form.
Typical of those murderous thugs.
It’s weird how no politician wants to reign this in
Well that would be actual work and if you read their contracts they are forbidden from doing that vile act ever.
no new questions. all cops are bastards. surprised more people don’t understand. they need the cops to beat them bloody and senseless before they may consider not backing the blue.
I don’t support the police because I am morally opposed to domestic violence and pedophillia.
Police have offered a conflicting account of what happened Jan. 10, saying in a statement Friday that they had executed a search warrant at the correct address and the child did not “sustain any apparent, visible injuries.”
Never ever, ever, believe a police statement of any kind. Police reps are gangsters and liars.
Cops showing up at the wrong house and throwing a flash bang at a baby is entirely on brand and raises no new questions.
I wonder if we are going to find out about “baby had limited value” jokes.

I clicked the last story and it made truly me sick to my stomach. I had to skip through the details halfway. I’m angry and sad, and I am once again confirmed in my belief that I will never, ever want to live in the US. There are so many of these stories, and for so long now, and yet nothing has changed. The country is morally bankrupt.
There are definitely some Americans that would rather live in a first world country but it’s not as easy as just pickup and leave.
The search warrant was for the Parmely Avenue residence, but it was issued for a person who hasn’t lived there in more than a year, Price said, sharing the search warrant left by police at the home.
[…]
Price said she learned police had visited the home at least five times within the past year. “The landlord even told [police] she had new tenants,” she said.
This is after the article mentions that they only waited six seconds between knocking on the door and busting in.
If your police department shows this degree of incompetence executing a raid, it should have all its toys taken away. No more flashbangs, no more SWAT gear, no fancy guns. You get the wrong address, you hurt an innocent person, you fail to identify yourselves, you lose privileges. Hell, I seriously question whether they need most of that shit in the first place.
I legitimately believe that a disturbingly high number of these raids that go wrong happen because the cops want to play with with their shiny new equipment.
