  • Horned for firing at citizens, grotesque!

    They did it's 'own' reviews. How nice of them. They should have their own houses raided, see how it feels, while their children watch.

  • I guess cops get rewarded when they dont kill someone...

  • I dont believe this... im too stone for this shit

  • Hahahaha..... only in the good ol' USA.

  • Let me get this strait...the swat team gets their info from a non-reliable (druggie?) source. Go into the wrong house (luckily) can't shoot strait enough to hit the (Innocent) man...or his wife and kids (again luckily)...Did everything wrong and they get a medal?

    This is like giving everyone in the 5th grade class an award, no matter how stupid they are. The only bravery these guys showed was being brave enough to show their faces for this bogus award!

  • Awards for being douchebags?

  • Just sick!!!

  • I'm just glad cops aren't great shots,and the family lived Too bad the homeowner wasn't any good either

  • thugs with guns... black storm troopers ,, murderers , killers. DO YOU HAVE A CONSCIENCE ?

  • This country is no longer America we are now in a full on police state where we the people have no rights at all. Where is the warrant where is the right to secure in ones home person. This is sick. Citizens need to recognize the police are your enemy. You are 80 time more likely to be murdered by a cop in the US than a terrorist (national safety institute statistic. This government is at war with the citizen of The US

  • God This is such crap. F*ing cops attempt to murder a innocent family. The Worthless swat gestapo cops are such trigger happy goons they dont aim and thank what ever you like miss this poor guy , kids and wife. Then are commended for being worthless gestapo blood thirsty pigs. To bad this guy didn’t take a few of these swat freaks out a few less blood thirsty power hungry murderers behind the badge is a good thing.

  • if everyone called in a annonomous complaint about drug activity and gave the address of a cop,swat,mayor,politition,lawy­er,judge,sport team owner,news reporter,banker,priest,rabbi etc...or any of their family members, i'm sure this bullshit would end quick.

  • How do you win medals for your police work when you've arrested no criminals and gotten into a firefight with civilians?

  • The very least the city can do for these victims of police mistakes is to be reimbursed for any damages or costs.There is a young mum of 2 that has her apartment covered in poisonous tear gas,I mean just admit it's a mistake and have industrial cleaners go in and fix it.Replace burnt carpet from tear cannisters and house her and the kids till it's done it's not a big ask!!! watch - SWAT Team Goof Still Not Resolved

  • Why should they be honored?????

  • What a stupid thing to do... Thank God for their incompetance! 1st with their informant, 2nd with their investigation, 3rd with their Raid, 4th with this STUPID attempt to put carmel topping on the 5h1T pile that was this whole event from start to finish. Bad thing is... the better trained they become the more innocent people will die!

  • bull shit...they should be fired

  • YEAH... GO TEAM!!! You shot that house out! WOOO!!!

  • What a joke. They give medals to dumbass cops. They deserve to be shot for busting into the wrong house.

  • @UdderPunch6 You know, they shouldn't have been honored, but they were given a bad tip from an informant. They entered the house and found themselves under fire from the owner. If a police officer is fired upon, he is under orders to return fire in self defense. The cops didn't know it was the wrong place until it was over. I think YOU deserve to be shot for being a douchebag. I mean, if you were a cop following orders and someone shot at you, you'd shoot back.

  • @WarpSpeedProductions It's all well and good untill it's YOUR house. Right?

  • @WarpSpeedProductions I'm REALLY surprised the police didn't Execute Everyone in the house including the children..to cover up their mistake, that's usually the mindset.....and police return fire even when they Aren't under fire or for practically ANY reason, all they do is say " I was in fear of my life" ...OK, maybe you were, but the unarmed suspect was running AWAY from you, why'd you shoot him 4 times in the back? ...lol ...

  • @WarpSpeedProductions day by day...the police are REALLY getting out of hand...they're abusing their authority....people out there are becoming less and less tolerant

  • @WarpSpeedProductions

    But shouldn't they make 110% that thier information is correct before busting someone's door down in the middle of the night? Granted, if it's a bad guy - Waist 'em! But all too often they raid the wrong place! And innocent people get shot, killed and have thier property ransacked! Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to a loud crash, you find men with guns tearing through your home! What are you going to do? Intruders shout 'police' too when they want in.

  • @WarpSpeedProductions you pathetic fool. Your protection of these blood thirsty pigs is disgusting and you are a joke. I am eager to see when they kick in your door you fool. As for return fire how about follow up on a lead before murdering people or breaking into a persons home. As for cops F8Ck them they are not god and deserve to be blow away when they are out of line or abuse there position. You are an ass Kis88ing Joke. right to be secure in your home moron.

  • udderpunch6 you pathetic fool. Your protection of these blood thirsty pigs is disgusting and you are a joke. I am eager to see when they kick in your door you fool. As for return fire how about follow up on a lead before murdering people or breaking into a persons home. As for cops F8Ck them they are not god and deserve to be blow away when they are out of line or abuse there position. You are an ass Kis88ing Joke. right to be secure in your home moron.

  • A Police State Looms on the Horizon!!!!!!!!!!!PPL be warned!

  • @lionpunk1WWE my ass! it's not on the horizon, it's here!

  • this is the most absurd thing I have ever seen........

  • how the hell did no one get hurt........

  • that's messed up! Now every SWAT team's gonna want to raid the wrong houses. lol

  • You can see it on the faces of the SWAT team standing there. They too are thinking WTF.

  • They got honored for doing their job; reminding people that, at any moment, they can walk in to your house and shoot you.

  • Look at some of them they look so proud of themselves while others look down and probably stating in thoughts "I don't deserve this metal" but i feel so incredibly sorry for those children and their parents. Police has gone from far to worst!!!

  • They all got there head up there asses, lets give em a metal.

  • HEY GUYS! It's just the bad 89.1 percent of cops that give the good 10.9 percent a bad name!!

  • The SWAT men themselves are NOT the ones who pick the house to raid. That's the whole point. When fully thought upon arriving "There is a gang member with a gun inside", so when a man starts pumping shells in their direction, and they manage to subdue everyone involved without and injuries, they deserve an award... That's impressive.

  • @silverx00 Tell that to the little girl who was shot and killed almost 2 years ago by a botched house raid.

  • The guy who protected his wife and kids with just a shotgun against a team of highly trained swat team in full battle gear and no one was hurt in the shoutout..It says their protective gear prevented them from being harmed by the bullets.Does that mean he actually hit his target without being hit?Because i don't think the guy was wearing any protective gear eh..

  • you guys, they won $600,000

  • I would probably do the same thing if someone was entering my house like that.

    I keep my gun next to my bed at night and I practice twice a week so things may have gone way differently if someone would have gotten killed.

  • @WireZombie253

    they got $600,000 after

  • They should be embarrassed to get that award.

  • @brantc I agree! they should return the award and walk with their head down.

  • I've heard of similar SWAT raids where home owners got killed over the forfeit seizure law. They raided a home in Beverly Hills because a kid had 6 little pot plants on the back of the lot. They did a tax search to find how much it was worth then raided the house, & killed the man & woman living in it so that they could seize the house and sell it. The owner thought he was being robbed and got out his gun to defend his home & was killed by the SWAT team. Was in readers digest 8 or 9 yrs ago.

  • Who's the real terrorists? They are being rewarded for bullying and oppressing law abiding people.

  • BS nothing but BS

    If I were one of those cops I would of been full of shame and never of taken that medal. I would be also counting my blessings that I didn't kill anyone of that family.

    Damn ludky for all

  • unbelievable.

  • stupid pigs shoulda got rewarded for their stupidity

  • Real heroism! I'm sure all these police officers would be complete pussies if they didn't have their guns.

  • DOWN WITH THIS SORT OF THING!!!!!!

  • I understand that the SWAT Team was going off of the intel they recieved. So they were just doing there job. But the informant and the leaders needs to be punished. Like any, the family probably want money. And they deserve it.

  • douche fags how dare they get rewards for wrecking an innocent family's home

  • A hypothetical: what if Mr. Kgang had been more effective with his shotgun? How different would this story turn out for him? Would this still be reported as a case of "SWAT team raids wrong house"?

  • @glenniesan More like Man shoots cops. He'll be seen as a murderer. Even though later it will come out that the raid was on the wrong house he'll still be convicted of murder and sentenced either to life in prison or death. Even though he was defending his family and the cops would still get their medals and shed crocidile tears while screaming "GIVE US MORE FUNDING!!"

  • @AmericanPoliceState

    If it was the other way around, and someone in his family got killed, I bet non of the officers would get charged of murder....

  • HEY YOU POSTED THIS ON MY BDAY!

  • @MSkudlarczyk2008 Happy Birthday

  • id sue the city and STATE

  • they would have been more happier if they got a donut

  • no-one was hurt because the officers were trained by BARNEY FIFE!

  • I here the Fire Department responded to wrong address. Is an award due to them as well?

  • bET THE GUYS ON THE TEAM HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO BITE THEIR LIP AND TAKE THE SHITTY AWARD

  • Police should always announce themselves before entering a house, no matter what they are doing. A law abiding citizen will automatically assume someone who kicks in their door is a robber because they have no reaosn to expect the police. The police could easily make the mistake of not announcing themselves because they automatically assume the house they enter has criminals in it and to them suprise is an advantage, not the potential catastrophe surprise actually is.

  • Honored? LMAO

  • Dick holes!!!!

  • i dont trust police !

  • We Are The Targets Of This Nations Wars On Crime, Even If You Are Not A Criminal,These Over Seers Are Practicing On Black People To Start A Urban Conflic "To Justify" REX 84 Or The King Alfred Plan To Be Used As Urban Cleansing!

  • omg they should be ashamed. police do wrong and get a reward.

  • I wish to attend the honor ceremony that recognizes the bravery of the home owner that was defending his family from the violent and dangerous police force. Mr. Vang you are a brave and just man. I am deeply troubled by the violent unjust intrusion of your home.

  • @pantheratigris00 I completely agree, well said sir.

  • "this is a situation that could have been way worse if not for the professionalism of our officers."

    WTF??? More like..."This coulda been a lot worse but these bozo's cant shoot worth shit so we're gonna honor them for sucking and not being able to hit the innocent person"

  • They opened fire and missed every shot. BAD AIM. They chose to fire instead of tactical retreat as they should. BAD JUDGMENT. They raided the wrong house. BAD INTELLIGENCE. There was nothing 'professional' about this, it was a fuck up through and through.

  • That police chief is a total white trash... HONORING officers for raiding the WRONG freaking house? What a greater slap in the face. That's so fucking disrespectful to those family members.

    If it were a White family wrongfully being raided, this would have been a whole different story.

    At least they will be remembered as losers instead, since we're not fucking blind like that biased chief giving "cookies" to his boys.

  • Wow..... so if I give a tip that my neighbor might have gang weapons in their house the swat team will show up guns blazing, that sounds like a good idea. O, and then we reward them for almost killing innocent people inculding children and doing the exact oppoiste of their job which is to protect, what a country

  • I can understand its not the SWAT team's fault for faulty intelligence, but the chief even said they should of done a tactical retreat when they realized it was the wrong house. The fact that they kept shooting just goes to show they were all just a bunch of trigger happy idiots that have no respect for life. These guys probably just have a high school education. I bet they were all thinking, "Don't matter if its the wrong house, this guy's shooting so we can kill him." So much for self defense.

  • @arfwang

    Most (not all) Police will NEVER nor have the ability to admit when they are wrong.

  • Congratulations guys! You didn't kill anyone! Here's a medal for your shitty aim and bad detective work.

  • This just demonstrates that every American is one bad tip away from this kind of thing happening to them. Will you be lucky enough not to be shot?

  • I wonder if a swat team gets honored if it succeeds in killing a citizen during a raid in a wrong house.

  • @RickyJonhsoncolorado bonus points, extra credit

  • The only reason this didnt go horribly wrong was because the swat team had shitty aiming.

  • just unbelivable

  • I wouldn't be giving such "honor" to the SWAT officers if I were leadership.

    The police department needs to face a fact; despite the fact that the team was shot at and despite the fact that nobody was injured (emotionally distressed, OTOH, is another story), they were only shot at by the homeowner when the SWAT team RAIDED THE WRONG HOUSE.

    That, IMO, is rewarding a MAJOR SCREWUP.

    It's bad enough that they raided the wrong house, but it's disgraceful that commendations had been made.

  • "For bravery and professionalism?" He specifically says for not retreating when it would have been "the easy way out." HAHA! The only reason they didn't kill anyone is because they're NOT professional. That many bullets and no hits? Bunch of overarmed goons accepting crappy intelligence from dopers and dressing up in their dick-enhancing gear to go terrorize the citizenry.

  • oh my GOD are you serious!!!! they were AWARDED MEDALS? you HAVE to be kidding me. i wonder if they would have been awarded medals if they had shot and killed this guy's kids in the raid?..FFS.. what next!

  • @towerclimber37 A check to cover repairs and mental stress to the six kids, and both adults. I'm would be thinking of a figure along the lines of hmmmm $2 million.

  • I understand that the cops were only doing their jobs but to get an award for a mistake is a mistake.

    I am just furious!

  • @themouas the swat team didn't make any mistakes... it was the intelligence gathering that was faulty... i'm sure the source handlers that got the bad information weren't awarded anything except a reasignment

  • The guy trying to protect his home should get the honor not the cops, it was a mistake and it could've been unfortunate for both sides.

  • I think that man should get a chance to break into those officers homes and shoot at them and their families

  • A police review cleared the police SWAT team. Well, great. While we're at it why don't we do away with public health inspectors and have restaurants keep track of their own cleanliness? Why don't we do away with pest control inspectors and have farmers set their own standards for what is safe for their workers?

    Cops looks out for their own. Police, sheriff, highway patrol, it is all the same--they are all cops, and they will take care of their own.

  • they missed not because of their training they suck. the family was so lucky that the swat team had a bunch of idoits shooting guns what would have happend if all the stray bullets fired would have hit that mans family. im sorry is all they have to say then O by the way here's your medal for being wrong damn. dont get me wrong i appreciate police and other law enforcements officals but come on then they blame a snitch for the wrong info lol what happen to their own investigation wow wow wow

  • @redmule02 detectives or whoever needed to clarify and make sure they were targeting the right house. idiots

  • Prime example of WHY no knock warrants should be done away with.

    If the cops can do it to someone else's house they can do it to YOURS!!!

  • moron's!

  • DAMN NAZI

  • this is sick

  • The chief should go to jail but he won't. Only slaves like us get put in jail for doing the right thing. These cops are a bunch of criminals. They are a necessary evil. I'm against having cops at all. All they do is give tickets and raise money for the other crooks. I know what cops are. They lie for each other all the time.

  • they got awarded for trying to kil innocent people????? WTF

  • All the officers involved should be fired not honored. What if they had ended up shooting his wife and kids?, What if someone would have died? Im sorry is not going to cut it, i'd get a lawyer and sue them for everything they had.

  • What I hate about seeing things like this is, MPD is not held accountable for their mistakes? I'm sure that before the raid happen, an investigation should have been done. How can something like this still happen? Someone f@@k up, that mtf should be fired, before something like this happen again, and some innnocent kids die. MPD loss so much money, 4.3 millions, 600k, and they still got the civil case Fong Lee shooting. I know it's not my money, but it's the tax payers money.

  • the american way...incompetence rewarded. How comforting

  • You could see that the shot gun that the owner shot the swat team, the pelets was small. If the owner use buck shot, there a good chance that the swat teams could have die. The amount of bullets that the swat team shot at the owner, it's was a act of god that the owner and his kids did not get shot. Could of been a big tragedy for both side.

  • This is so retarted... "...they were shot at and shot, and deserves to be recognized...." as freaken restards, Chief Dolan you are one smart guy... I think you deserve a medal too, For IDIOCRACY...!

  • Your entire department, judging by the so called "SWAT" team, and the Chief himself, is a huge joke. What does it take to be a police officer in Minneapolis? 10 hours training?

  • WOW! The "SWAT" team? The homeowner shot TWO officers, all that gunfire, and NOT ONE, HIGHLY TRAINED (actual SWAT officers are) did not hit the homeowner ONE time? Yea you guys are top of the line, I'd give you a medal too. NOT! As for the "good information", that's the type of info you can expect from a criminal, which those of us in law enforcement know, that's who "confidential informants" are.

  • If I was a cop on this raid. I would have declined to accept the medal. I mean think about it. You could have and would have killed innocent people. Where's the honor in that?

  • They dont deserve to be recognize they deserve to give out an apology to the family. Even though its not their fault it would be great to hear the word i am sorry from them to the family.

    So far innocent people are being killed this way.

    Bad tips always leads to this.

    Glad that nobody died from this incident.

  • They're not morons. The police leadership are morons for thinking up this PR stunt.

    The SWAT team members are also NOT heros, or do they sound very competent. They couldn't even take down a single guy. How many cops stormed the house? They're very lucky they were just facing a single shotgun.

  • Ok they were not "morons, idiots, stupid or anything like that" they were WRONG and deserved a friggin' medal.

  • to all of those who say these officers are morons, idiots, stupid or anything like that please learn how an officer or shut up, an officer has a laptop in the squad car where a dispatcher can send a call telling the who, what, when, why and where on a call. So when these SWAT officers got their call they got the info on the place & people they are just as much victims as the family, and I know this stuff because I worked with those very men for 4 years! so if anyone is to blame, it's dispatch!

  • Moron cops.

  • this is strange that the officers were awarded but they were doing their job, I think the man protecting his family should also receive recognition and an award of some kind, luckily the man was not killed this could have ended much worse.

  • SWAT JUST ATTACKED an innocent

    asian family! What has this world come to?! PAY ATTENTION POLICE!!

  • wtf, dont they have to scream police before the door even goes down?

  • The family was sleeping, so I don't think it would have helped.

  • This isnt the first time this has happened. Informants are not cops but rats. The police take what the informant says and decides to act. The police should do more investigating. The police need to be sued and fired.

  • these cops should know what credibility witness testimony/informants usually have, and how often it can really be relied on

  • amen!

  • This is Bull$h1t!! Why are these idiots being rewarded for almost killing an innocent family?

    If any of these jackasses had been shot by the frightened father, the poor father would probably be charged or murdered by these idiots.

    Who the hell rewards this?

    Outrage!

  • lol wang got scared and reached for the shotty

  • SWAT teams don't conduct investigations. They go to the addresses they're told to. They did handle it well, and everyone should be thankful that they didn't accidentally kill Mr. Vang.

    The investigators who directed them there, and the judge who gave the raid the okay, should be hung out to dry.

  • there has to be more to this than kicking in the door and going apeshit. i dont think the police really care about the fact that many houses have kids inside....that just makes two sides that arent putting the kids first. i think the police get more kicks out of raiding houses than actually catching the criminals in the act.

  • Handled it well? The only one that handled it well was the Patriot who shot those two home invaders. Burglars get nothing from me for sympathy.

  • This is unreal.

  • it's called the good ole' boys network, and it stinks

  • I can't believe they are being rewarded for something we train them for in the first place. Next we'll reward them for how brave they are to get dressed in the morning. If they do ABOVE THE CALL OF DUTY, then reward them. But not for a regular performance in a WRONG house. The Police got REALLY REALLY lucky that they didn't kill an innocent person! Swat teams already have too much lee-way when entering your home, when they want to, already, and this is a case in point.

  • they were awarder for their cordinators stupidity and their horrible aim dont see were credit is due they should be saying sorry insted of getting medals.

  • These guys are taught muzzle safety. They are actually taught NOT to pull the trigger instinctively, good thing for the home owner. But still, the wrong house? I mean come on, they're supposed to be professionals.

  • so wait it didn't go horribly rong? wow theyre my heros

  • i am an ex-policeman and this is just plain retarded. if not for the luck of god and bad shooting u would have an inocent family who was in there own home doing nothing, dead. this is why america is going downhill, the pride is gone.

  • Amen brother!

  • SWAT teams serve no purpose but to terrorize innocent civilians. Most members are low IQ cowards who never could muster the balls and hustpah to go into a real war zone.

    I have no respect for them!

  • Only in America, (i'm an american)

  • A civilian landed two center mass shots on swat team and they landed none. HA HA HA HA, same will happen if they tried to raid my home. Criminals know they have a warrant, good citizens know they don't... That's when that fire comes out!

  • This is what happens when police dont have to answer to the citizens. One day some person is going to shoot back with equal firepower and there will be at least 1 less gungho swat nazi.

  • Wow. I would be very embarrassed if I was a SWAT team member getting an award. This is utter lunacy. The Police department is too far in their own world.

  • the mpls police department is being awarded for their mistakes, how about let's take the taxes that we are paying them to pay for our own education!

  • police are suppose to be helpful when needed

    but because of all the incidents that has happened due to their faults

    how are the communities to look up to the polices for help? mind as well, be on our own and be heros to ourselves!!!

  • they did their job?

    lol. funny, let's see them raid your house fool.

    correct your story

  • let me answer your questions for the rest of everyone else.

    the stupid minneapolis department did get the wrong house.

    when they enter the house, they did not announce, police search warrant' - i don't know where you got your sources, but if you want to tell a story, tell it right - if you look at any news sources, no one recall this - the cheif itself, on the news, when meeting to apolize, admit hisself that the swat team are not suppose to announce that they are the police

  • let me fix up that geoff7257 story

    that fool does not quaify to tell the story

    he/she got their story just as messed up as the minneapolis police department!

  • lol what a dorks...

  • oh.... man.... what a dorks!!

  • dude they should not have got honored if they broked into my house and i did nothing wrong hell yeah i would fired at them

  • Ummmm YES... it was the wrong house!!! they never identified themselves untill after shooting back!!!! if you hear someone breaking into your home and do nothing you will die!

  • First of all lets get something straight. They did not hit the wrong house. They (the investigators not the SWAT team) had a warrent for that address from an informent. The police did not shoot first. They shot back in response. What would you do if you were briefed and told that you were serving a warrent on a house and that there were guns in that house. You then make entry yelling "Police search warrant" and then someone starts shooting at you? They did their job. They returned fire.

  • UPDATE:

    UPDATE:

    A family whose lives were shattered by a mistaken police raid a year ago have been awarded a $612,498 settlement by the city of Minneapolis to make amends.

    The settlement, approved by the City Council on Friday, includes a flat $600,000 payment, which includes purchase of the home, and lesser amounts for medical care and rental housing.

    In addition, the city will take over remaining mortgage payments on the home, said Thomas Heffelfinger, attorney for Vang Khang.

  • How many cops got fired????

  • they cpuld have killed the man and his whole family. filth.

  • dumb american cops. thats why the rate of violence is going up not down

  • proves Americans ARE! STUPID!

  • Yeah, you almost kill and innocent man and his family. Les give the guys an award for that bravery in the line of duty. Morons.

  • SWAT raid wrong house

  • Happens all the time most of the time it gets buried by the national media.

  • Wow ! stupid cops ! !
