1. The family was housing a murder suspect in a very publicized case.
2. The child was in the living room at 2 am not in her room.
3. The family resisted arrest.
The fact is its not the child or the cops fault. It is 100% the piece of crap parents. If they had simply been good parents in one of 3 events this would not have happened.
1. Dont let criminals stay at your home. Dont give me the they didn't know the older brother was a murderer parents will know if kids are in gangs or committing crimes if they pay any attention to their kids.
2. I have a 5 year old and honestly I feel like im failing on my job when I let him watch Wall-e till 11:30 in his room. There is sure in hell no way I let him sleep on the couch at 2 am. Children need boundaries.
3. Dont resiste arrest. Police are not judges, prosecutors or juries. The time to clear things up is after the situation is calmed down and your int he prosecutors office or the jail house or at least after the warrant is executed. If you resiste arrest you deserve what happens. I have been wrongfully detained before and searched under suspicion only to be let go as soon as they realize it is a mistake. A few minutes of lost time waiting for cops to smarten up has saved me night in jail for resisting.
It's easy to blame the cops but the fact is here in detroit it is bad enough with them doing there job if we tie there hands more or dont have them I can guarantee Anarchy would not be pretty.

What a bunch of shit... so is it your brother or your dad who is a cop and you are sticking up for what they do?
It's up to SWAT to assess the situation before moving in.. that includes CHECKING FOR CHILDREN IN THE HOUSE! Because they didn't do that they went ahead and flashbanged it, despite that being against regulations with the presence of children, and went in with one asshole who seemed to be more trigger happy than a 17 year old boy on prom night... Cops are already commenting on it saying that they were in the wrong, but they have you standing up claiming things like 'standard procedure'.
Think about it, what if they did have the wrong house, and they bust into yours instead. Flash banging all your bedrooms and your child was shot in the process. Would you be claiming the same thing? This exact thing happened to my mother. Some moron gave them the wrong address and told them that there was a drug operation going on there and they kicked the doors in and slammed her to the ground and had her hogtied. Being in Canada, she was lucky enough that they don't allow things like flashbang grenades.
bad parents? It wouldn't be the first time that a kid fell asleep on a couch in the living room, and no, not all parents are completely aware of all their kids wrong doings, because that would be IMPOSSIBLE.
