Imagine being woken up at 4am and told to get on the ground while you get arrested, treated like a criminal, threatened, have guns pointed at you and then told .... sorry ... wrong house ... waddaygonnado

This is stuff you would expect in a third world country.

The problem is that we think it's okay for police to treat criminals "like criminals". That's a euphemism for a whole lot of fucked up shit. Police owe us all the same professional and dilligent duty of care, whether they personally suspect us of committing a crime or not.
