Not being the target of the investigation will not deter LE from investigating the person not the target of the investigation. He was in the house listed on the warrant, therefore he must be involved....oops, our bad.
Some things require answers, and this event highlights that need.
1. Why does the Education Department have cops? We have a perfectly good FBI for them to use for criminal investigations.
2. Did they have reason to believe that there was evidence of the crime they were investigating at that home? Or did they simply lack the information that the woman no longer lived there? The latter would be an indication of incompetence in conducting their investigation.
3. Did the homeowner do something to resist the warrant? Or was breaking down the door and then placing the family in a squad car "routine"? I would hope that such actions would only be taken with a valid reason. There are reasons for breaking down doors and detaining occupants when serving warrants. I just don't see them in this case. Of course, that could be because we simply don't have the information.
If the department won't be forthcoming, then the Republican House ought to ask these questions.
