I wrote about this briefly a few months ago, but I recently received an email from the woman who's home was raided with many more details.  She included a PDF flyer with details of exactly what happened when her home was mistakenly raided by a drug task force... after she called 911 asking for help because there were drug dealers outside!  Here are some of the disturbing details from the flyer:

On Friday, February 16, at 1:00pm, there was a frightening incident at our home, involving police. My husband Bradford, one of our freelancers, Wade, and I were working in our living room when the doorbell rang.  Thinking it was the mailman or something, I answered the door to find two strange men, whom I didn't know. They did not immediately identify themselves. They were fighting on my front step over money, and one of them stated that the other one was looking to buy drugs from me. I was shocked, and called Bradford to the door for assistance.
...
A very short time passed after I made the 911 call from our home phone, and I heard a bunch of abrasive yelling outside, so I opened the door to see what was happening. When I opened the door I was met by a guy with a gun in my face, saying, "GET THE FUCK ON THE GROUND!!" Needless to say, I was terrified, and immediately complied. I did NOT know if he was a "good guy" or a "bad guy". I thought we were being robbed or something. AFTER I was on the ground he said, "STAY ON THE GROUND! I'LL SHOOT YOU IN THE FUCKING HEAD!!!"

As it turns out... the police are the ones who threatened to shoot her in the head... for calling 911 from her own home.  But as if that's not bad enough:

I was brought into our kitchen and requested to use the bathroom, to which the female officer replied, "Well THAT'S not gonna happen!" We were all detained in our kitchen while 10 officers searched our home. Then, the female officer searched me, without asking for my consent. Here's the embarrassing part. Despite my
need to use the bathroom, the female officer forced me to spread my legs to be searched, which caused me to wet my pants. This was and is very embarrassing and humiliating.
...
Then the three of us were all interviewed separately. Afterwards, the officers left our home as quickly as they invaded it, smiling and saying, "It's Miller time!", on their way out.

The local police are not providing any information to this couple after a drug buy went bad, and the dealer randomly choose their house.  The police officers who detained and searched them were non-uniformed detectives who were in an unmarked car.  What's unclear is whether the "buyer" was actually a confidential informant working for the police, who randomly chose that house.  Given the number of these stories I've read, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.  They didn't even identify themselves as police until everyone was cuffed and the house was being illegally searched.  All this after the home owners had called 911.

This family is just thankful their children weren't home.  And had a SWAT team been involved, instead of just overzealous detectives, things could have proved even more deadly.  Just another hard day fighting the War on Drugs^TM I guess.

Update:  I just received email confirmation from Nicole that one of the two people participating in the buy was indeed a confidential informant working with the police, and that the dealer he was buying from randomly chose their house.  There is absolutely no excuse for what happened here.  I'd like to say that I'm shocked, but I've read about far too many stories like this.
