Barney Fife Award #7, Minneapolis Police Department

8 Minneapolis officers involved in raid on innocent man's home get medals; family outraged



Last Dec 19, perhaps in anticipation of playing Santa Claus in a week, the Minneapolis SWAT team charged into the home of Vang Kang and his family, shot the place up, and left the family in a state of shock and anger. It was the wrong house.

Now the cops have received Medals of Commendation and of Valor.

The family escaped injury, despite the gunfire. There were 22 holes left in the walls. The police were not injured. Remember, this award is not being given for Triggernometry or judgment, just bravery.

We think they also deserve our award, and we are very happy to give it. Barney Fife salutes you.
