When you combine the drug war, the War on Terror, the militarization of police, and a vanishing Bill of Rights, stories like this become the norm, not the exception:
A 12-year-old girl in Billings, Montana, is suffering first and second degree burns on half her body after a SWAT team dropped a flash bang grenade next to her bed during a wrong-door drug raid on Oct. 9.The Billings Police Department claims that the officer who detonated the grenade inserted it through the girl's bedroom window on a poll, and was supposed to detonate it while holding it up in the air. He mistimed the explosion however, and ended up dropping the live flashbang next to the girl's bed.
