Cops, Flash-Bangs, and Burned Babies

Seems that the cops just love them some flash-bangs with their Junior Military Raider costumes.

...According to police, members of the SWAT team executed a high-risk search warrant at 1103 West 9th Street.

Once at the home, SWAT officers knocked and verbally announced that they were executing a search warrant, as per protocol.

Officers entered the home and cleared the room, not seeing anyone inside.

The small room was cluttered with clothing and furniture items, including old mattresses leaning against a wall.

With no one in sight, a less lethal distraction device was deployed by an officer.
Officers used a noise-flash diversion product.  [That means Flash-Bang grenade.--Ed.]

As the officer was backing out of the room, a 2-year-old child, who is believed to have been hiding in the mattresses, began walking toward the device as it was activated....[That means "when it went off."--Ed.]

The two-year old has third degree burns and will be hospitalized for quite some time.

However, the Junior Military Raiders are all safe at home with their mommies.
