The Supreme Court will weigh in on whether a Georgia family whose home was mistakenly raided by an FBI SWAT team can sue the federal government for the error. Just over six hours after the justices issued a list of orders from their Jan. 24 conference, and three days after they granted three cases from that conference, the court issued a new order granting review in Martin v. United States and fast-tracking the case for oral argument, presumably during the 2024-25 term.

Some other cops just did this same thing in Kentucky on Christmas eve over a stolen weed eater (the man who stole it was already in custody). Not only did they get the address wrong but were at the wrong wrong address (i.e. 419 Street Dr was the correct home, they thought it was 425 Street Dr, but then went to 475 Street Dr). They raided it at midnight and killed the homeowner when he answered the door with a gun.

Do Americans really have a right to bear arms? It's technically legal, but if police can murder you and get away with it when they catch you with a gun, that sounds like the consequences are a possible defacto death sentence.

They only sometimes murder you for it. But there's plenty laws where I'm from that are only sometimes enforced when the police catch you, and not by death.
