Package delivered to wrong home; Followed by no-knock raid 10 minutes later

I realize this was IL, but what if it had been another state and the guy had a legal firearm and reloading equipment? They'd be talking about his gun room and he'd be convicted before he got to the station.

Trial and execution by Media.....

Wow! And PD's and LEO's wonder why the public does not trust them.
Common criminals behind a badge and gun. Not trying to bash, or "paint" all LEO's as bad people, because they're not. But it is these incidents that make the rest of us not trust them. I hope the homeowner sues.

I wonder if that package was meant for someone in the house and the different name was just in case the cops discovered there was dope in it, so if they got busted they can say it wasn't theirs. If I am not expecting a package and received one with someone elses name on it I wouldn't accept it. I am not saying what the cops did was OK. I think they went overboard. But maybe someone in that house isn't so innocent.
