Be careful about comments you make about the police online -- I guess they are starting to realize that a lot of people aren't so happy with them and their thuggish behavior lately. Also be sure to lock down your Wi - Fi !

Police: 'Threat matrix' dictated SWAT team response at Powell Avenue home

EVANSVILLE — Stephanie Milan, 18, was relaxing in her family’s living room Thursday watching the Food Network when a heavily armed squad of Evansville police officers arrived on the front porch.
Dressed in full protective gear, police broke the storm door of the home at 616 East Powell Ave. — the Milans’ front door was already open on the hot summer day. They also broke a front window. They tossed a flashbang stun grenade into the living room that made a deafening blast.
SNIP
Stephanie Milan said she managed to remain calm because she knew her family hadn’t done anything wrong. Still, she was stunned and confused.
After speaking to Milan and her grandmother, Louise, police determined those inside the house had nothing to do with their investigation.
Police were executing a search warrant for computer equipment, which they said was used to make anonymous and specific online threats against police and their families on the website topix.com.
SNIP
“They had what they thought were very specific threats against police officers, their families and the communities,” Winnecke said.
HUGE SNIP
