The mayor of Elyria has ordered a probe after the woman who lives at the home accused police of raiding the wrong house, an incident that she said left her baby with severe burns.

The mayor of Elyria, Ohio, has ordered an investigation after a woman alleged that police officers who raided her home had the wrong address and deployed flash-bang devices that sent her 1-year-old to the hospital with burns.

Police have offered a conflicting account of what happened Jan. 10, saying in a statement Friday that they had executed a search warrant at the correct address and the child did not “sustain any apparent, visible injuries.”

Courtney Price says audio from her Ring camera proves them wrong. In a clip shared exclusively with NBC News on Tuesday, someone can be heard saying “it’s the wrong house.” It is not clear who made the remark because the camera fell to the ground and went dark after police deployed the flash-bang devices.

      It’s kinda fucked up, but Sanders i think explained it well. We need increased funding so there’s higher salaries to attract better people.

      I bet we could claw back a lot of money for that without increasing funding though if we stopped buying military surplus.

        Nah, police commonly earn in the $150,000 to $200,000 range because of overtime and powerful unions.

          Can you provide sources from this? I’m genuinely curious, the highest I’ve heard was $80,000 and it was a campus department with endowment funding.

          Also, I wouldn’t count overtime as part of the salary. Having to work that much is going to put extra stress on you, make you irritable, wear you down, etc. and result in turnover.

      That’s because NIMBYs are people without any sort of compassion or empathy for other humans. They only want the scary people who want their stuff to stay away and don’t care what the damage is in the process of that.

            NIMBY to me would be things like people who want Wind power but not near them. Seems like you’re using it fairly differently so I’m asking about that.
