A New York woman has sued the city police department, claiming that officers have raided her home four times in the past year trying to arrest her long-dead husband.
The raids continued even after the woman, Karen Fennell, posted a death certificate over her front door showing that her husband, James Jordan, died in March 2006, according to papers filed in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn.
It gets worse:
James Jordan Jr. was arrested during a raid on the apartment last summer and was charged with fourth-degree weapons possession when police found a pocket knife in the home, Uzoh said.
Officers interrogated him about drug and gun activity in his Brooklyn neighborhood, the lawsuit contends. The charges against Jordan were dismissed, the suit said.
They pulled on their jackboots for a raid, they had to do SOMETHING! Obviously she didn’t have a dog for them to shoot…
Sadly, the one and only comment on the Reuters article is some nut wanting to require smart gun tech to be required for all guns and retrofitted to older weapons. Completely unrelated to the article entirely.
