Grenade burns sleeping girl as SWAT team raids homeOctober 12, 2012 12:05 am By Zach Benoit A 12-year-old girl suffered burns to one side of her body when a flash grenade went off next to her as a police SWAT team raided a West End home Tuesday morning. "She has first- and second-degree burns down the left side of her body and on her arms," said the girl's mother, Jackie Fasching. "She's got severe pain. Every time I think about it, it brings tears to my eyes." "A simple knock on the door and I would've let them in," she said. "They said their intel told them there was a meth lab at our house. If they would've checked, they would've known there's not." billingsgazette.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/grenade-burns-sleeping-girl-as-swat-team-raids-home/article_8bc67054-464d-5951-a5a1-003d4ed02d99.html Botched Paramilitary Police Raids: An Epidemic of "Isolated Incidents"www.cato.org/raidmap/

I'm looking at this one with a jaded perspective, maybe:
1. If the police had credible evidence of illegal narcotics activity, the raid itself was justified; the show of force was not.
2. Using children as meat shields is becoming all too commonplace. Muslims would do it all the time; they culturally do not have the same regard for child safety the way the West does, and they use it as a tactic. Druggies will also have kids around to put them in danger for political points.
3. That CATO map is a good tool!
