SWAT Team blames 1 year old for being in room, getting disfigured by flashbang

quote:
The act of sleeping in a room about to be breached by a SWAT team constituted “criminal” conduct on the part of the infant. At the very least, the infant was fully liable for the nearly fatal injuries inflicted on him when Habersham County Sheriff’s Deputy Charles Long blindly heaved a flash-bang grenade – a “destructive device,” as described by the ATF, that when detonated burns at 2,000-3,500 degrees Fahrenheit – into the crib.
Merely by being in that room, Bou-Bou had assumed the risk of coming under attack by a SWAT team. By impeding the trajectory of that grenade, rather than fleeing from his crib, Bou-Bou failed to “avoid the consequences” of that attack.
In any case, Bou-Bou, along with his parents and his siblings, are fully and exclusively to blame for the injuries that nearly killed the child and left the family with more than one million dollars in medical bills. The SWAT team that invaded the home in Cornelia, Georgia on the basis of a bogus anonymous tip that a $50 drug transaction had occurred there is legally blameless.
This was the defense from police lawyers in response to a lawsuit after a SWAT team threw a flashbang into an 18 month old infants crib last year. How anyone can defend this baffles me. Protect and serve.

Because 1 year olds have lots of choices as to which room to be in.

It's about time. One year olds have been coddled for too long.

i honestly wouldnt expect the cops to say anything different. To most cops nowadays, it's comply or die, apparently even if you're a 1 year old baby.

That's like the chappelle show Law and Order when the cop testified that the defendant's wife threw her titties into the cop's hand during the drug raid.

When insanity is the law, people lose respect for the law.
It is past time to try something different.

It's definitely a terrible situation but this story comes from a website dedicated to cop-bashing. I'd like to see the story from a more reputable source

stupid frickin pigs. shaved head neanderthals.

I hope that whoever authorized that raid gets killed in the line of duty.
Didn't click the link but I'm 100% certain it's not legit.

A copy of legal brief is included at the link, word for word.

It is helpful to read the actual Answer rather than read some moron's misinterpretation of it.
DEFENDANTS CHARLES LONG, MATTHEW WURTZ, JASON STRIBLING, MURRAY KOGOD, AND SHERIFF JOEY TERRELL'S ANSWER AND DEFENSES TO PLAINTIFFS' COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGES

Author William Norman Grigg poured over the defense presented in this case by the Sheriff’s Office, and his findings are unbelievable.

Holy frick! Why is it so hard to say "Look, we fricked up. We're extremely sorry and we will adjust our procedures to avoid these situations from happening in the future."
Nope, it's the kid's fault y'all broke into his home and flashbanged his arse. Stupid fricks. Articles like this make me feel like CptBengal is justified in his cop hate.

I'm pretty sure one of the officers involved was shot on duty recently.

I mean how stupid could that guy be? Who sends a frickin swat team over a few Gs? Stupid fricks. You have to be a psychopath to throw a fricking flashbang on a baby and try to defend your actions like that. They're all psychopaths

that's just an Answer and some Affirmative Defenses. they sound crazy b/c you have to absolutely deny anything possible in the answer or it's admitted...and you have to file all your affirmative defenses with the answer typically, so that's where shite gets really crazy. an affirmative defense means that even if the plaintiffs prove every fact at trial, they still lose as a matter of law. so that's why it reads so poorly.
this is not as nefarious as people will make it sound like

Read it. "No knocks" don't seem like a good idea.

This was the defense from police lawyers in response to a lawsuit
This is an example of a "journalist" sensationalizing that which they do not understand. Obviously the SWAT team fricked up and obviously they will have to pay money damages. However, the lawyer for the SWAT team is merely filing an "answer" to the lawsuit, in which it is legally required that all "defenses" be plead or they are waived. These are fairly boilerplate defenses that are contained in most "answers." Wait until they actually get deeper in the case and the defense lawyers starts actually verbalizing that Bou-Bou was at fault before you get all hot and bothered.
