I'm talking about real world consequences, nothing state imposed (obviously). If, for example, someone wanted to purchase goods from me working at my previous job, they have to speak english. Only a few sales associates spoke Spanish, and none spoke traditional Chinese. Had someone who only spoke Chinese called in to order goods, they would have consequentially been unable to order due directly to their inability to speak English. Likewise, the inability to recognize the word "police" could have meant that this man could have been shot. Just like the consequences of not tying your shoes could be tripping, there are consequences of not speaking the native language of the place where you live. It's called "real world consequences of ignorance".

Ustwo: The article didn't address the issue, so we don't have any information beyond the basic "they kicked in the wrong door" to address. We don't know who screwed up.
