So in one of the biggest boners you will ever hear, the wrong family in Vernon Hill had their apartment raided by the SWAT team Tuesday night. The cops were looking for some guy named Shane B. Jackson and had attained a no-knock warrant.

Here’s what happened.

At about 5:30 AM Marianne Diaz woke up buck-naked to the sound of somebody knocking down her door. The SWAT team then rammed down the door and entered the apartment, assuming the people inside were harboring Shane B. Jackson, who they believed to be armed. According to Ms. Diaz they refused to let her put clothes on and yelled and swore at her because her kids (age 7 and 5) were crying.

The problem is that Shane Jackson USED to live there. As a matter of fact that family has no idea who Shane Jackson is nor have they ever had any contact with him. Ms. Diaz lives in the Hillside Street third floor apartment with her fiancé and a friend of theirs named Joshua Matos.

Mr. Matos was sleeping on the couch. According to him when the cops entered he dropped down to the floor and while they were apprehending him he told them his wrist was injured, to which they replied, “shut the fuck up.” His wrist was fractured.

Meanwhile Ms. Diaz’s fiancé was getting ready to go to work and was in the bathroom. The cops busted down that door as well. When he asked what the fuck was going on they also told him to shut the fuck up.

Meanwhile Ms. Diaz’s room was thoroughly searched as was her naked body. Soon after this they realized the person they were looking for wasn’t there.

The cops were acting on a warrant issued in Central District Court to the Massachusetts State Police. From what we’ve read, we’re not even sure if the SWAT team members were state cops or Worcester cops.

Here’s the real capper – Mr. Jackson was arrested two weeks ago, and his registered address was on Sylvan Street. Absolutely nowhere near Hillside Street.

So what the hell went wrong? Well a state police officer had obtained the warrant based solely on a tip from a “confidential informant” who told him that Mr. Jackson was staying there and had at least two guns. The 17 Hillside Street apartment was raided previously in September of 2014 when Mr. Jackson actually lived there.

Here’s one of the many parts I don’t get – the state trooper who obtained the warrant did some background search on this. He knew that Mr. Jackson was not listed as a renter of that apartment anymore. He also knew that the electricity was in Ms. Diaz’s name and that she had no criminal record. Most importantly, he had no reason to believe that Ms. Diaz had any relationship whatsoever to Mr. Jackson.

To make matters worse they haven’t gotten an apology and District Attorney Joe Early isn’t begging them for forgiveness. Which he obviously should be. He’s actually trying to justify it by arguing that their snitch was reliable. But obviously he or she isn’t.

Look, just admit you fucked up. There’s absolutely no excuse for this none. I don’t know Ms. Diaz or anyone else who lives with her, but I know that she’s an American citizen and that comes with a shitload of really good rights. Like the fourth amendment, which protects us from illegal search and seizure.

She also has the second amendment, which like it or not gives her the right to bear arms? What if she was a legal gun owner? She would’ve been well within her rights to shoot armed men entering her apartment. She obviously would’ve been killed, as could’ve a police officer and her children. Imagine that? I am not a police officer so I’m not gonna pretend to know how they do business, but all I gotta say is – under no circumstances can such a dangerous situation ever be created based the word of a single informant.

My mind is blown that the state police allowed this to happen. As you know, TBS is a pro-police blog. But at the same team we call it like we see it. And what we see here is one of the biggest and most inexcusable fuckups of all time. The people living in this apartment are by all accounts decent people. The mere fact that one guy was awake and getting ready to go to work tells you all you need to know. They jammed five people into a stuffy third floor apartment likely because it’s all they can afford.

And what do they get for keeping their noses clean and going about their business? They get violated. I don’t blame the cops who were involved in the SWAT raid though. They are paid to do a very dangerous job, and were told in no uncertain terms that the apartment they were raiding contained a dangerous man who would have no problem killing any of them. If they’re looking for the bad guys, I have ZERO problem with them telling scumbags to shut the fuck up. They have to assume that a warrant would be based on actual facts.

This wouldn’t happen on the West Side. As a matter of fact, I have a hard time believing the state trooper involved would even believe an informant that told him a dangerous gangbanger was living on Moreland Street.

The “confidential informant” should no longer be confidential. How do we know it wasn’t some dickweed ex-boyfriend trying to get back at Ms. Diaz? Fuck that. If you give faulty intelligence to the cops and it turns out to be untrue you don’t get to retain your confidentiality. As a matter of fact you should get your ass beat and go to jail too.

Because obviously this family went right to the sugar daddy for police brutality – Hector Pineiro – and he is gonna have a fucking FIELD DAY with this one. Normally this guy is a real buttnut who represents lifelong criminals like Gerald Jones, but this time he’s actually got a legitimate case. And none of this would’ve happened if the state police didn’t trust shitty intelligence from a shitty informant.
