14. The head cop on that raid is a real thug.

Even though the tip was not about her apartment but about the whole complex in general, the cop still justified the way they invaded her home:

But when the people in Goldsberry's apartment didn't open up, that told Wiggins he had probably found the right door. No one at other units had reacted that way, he said.

Maybe none of them had a gun pointed at them through the kitchen window, I suggested. But Wiggins didn't think that was much excuse for the woman's behavior. He said he acted with restraint and didn't like having that gun aimed at him.

“I went above and beyond,” Wiggins said. “I have to go home at night” <emphasis added>.

"Goldsberry was at home," I said. "She had a gun pointed at her, too <emphasis added>, and she wasn't wearing body armor and behind a shield. She had no reason to expect police or think police would ever aim into her kitchen and cuss at her through her door to get in. It seemed crazy. She was panicked."
