Cuz cops are not gunna knock if they can get away with it....heck, even if they think they may not get away with it they'll likely do it anyway and takes their chances. Given this truth, hitting the correct house is a good starting point. After they have demonstrated that they don't get house numbers all messed up (can read) then we can move on to knocking first.

TV newsman never talks about -was warrant issued? Was violation of 4A by Police chief? Shows deputies carrying out rifles, guys wandering around his house, taking pictures - all in violation of 4A. Hope Horton gets a good lawyer to get damages for police ignorance of personal property rights. 2nd TV report has chief saying Things don't add up and still suspects Horton, tells reporter he hasn't talked to state police, and then says he can't talk more because issue under investigation... Sounds like chief is hiding behind his pooch-screw.

I'm surprised Horton and his wife did not get ventilated.

Me too. Which is why I'm down with charging the caller with attempted murder.

I'm down with holding the cops accountable for doing very little investigative work to be sure that what they did, did not happen in the first place. I wouldn't be surprised that the cops did not find this "bomb threat" as more a lucky coincidence to hassle Horton and his wife, given how horton is portrayed in the media.
Were the cop executing a arrest warrant? A search warrant?

The sheer stupidity here is amazing on the part of the BV police. Ok we go to investigate a bomb threat... Do we take along bomb disposal team? Not according to the story. Do we attempt any communication whatsoever with the alleged bomber (who lives in a residential area where many people who live close by could be put in harms way especially at 6am on a Thursday morning) NO!
The chief is damn lucky he didn't run into someone who uses the tried and true "bend & blend" shooting technique, which: is shoot low abdomen or groin, then chest and then head in a upward zipper motion.

But what the hell does it have to do with this thread and the OP? Is he just rambling incoherently now, or did he have a point?

+1 Not every situation is a nail that needs to be a hammered. Looks like the chief pounded his own finger.

I guess the chief is lucky the man who's home he invaded hadn't practiced "heads and hips" or Mozambique drill. Sometimes STUPIDITY can be lethal, a vest prevented that in this case.

Ya, I get a bit worked up when those that are supposed to "protect and serve" do the opposite.
They didn't even verify the simplest thing, the phone number and who it really belonged to from the 911 call (bomb threat). More investigation would have been warranted. The call could have come from a stolen cell phone and the caller takes the stolen cell phone owners identity, a land line can be "spoofed" to make it seem like it is originating from a different address or caller ID.

And to be clear, as it could have been taken differently, it would be the leo's that I would prosecute in order to make an example. Don't go breaking into an innocent families home. Do your homework and verify.
It is very fortunate that nobody was killed.

Of course the chief is going to cover his @$$. Remember 6am is a full hour & a half from sunrise @ this time of year there! So the man if sleeping, would have woken in the dark to: his door being smashed in and as the chief said, and screaming from officers.. Probably went like this: "I'm the fat chief & I'm only on this raid so I can get the freshest donuts on the way bay to the station! Now hurry up F-~^er! They put the next batch out at 6:35 am sharp!"
