so which is it, they believed the informant implicitly, invading a law abiding citizens home? or they bungled the detailed investigation before applying for a no knock warrant?

read the article. the police didn't 'stop and think' something, one of the mans kids, who understood english' told his dad it was the cops, then the man dropped his weapon and raised his hands. don't give credit when none is due.
