They sure do like their grenades, don't they? Makes 'em feel like hero soljers, I guess.

A 2-year-old California boy was burned and traumatized by a police smoke bomb in a botched “no-knock” raid at the wrong home, his family claims in a lawsuit. . .

The raid occurred at 4 a.m. on April 16 while the family was sleeping.

Hell - shoot a kid with a pistol and the LEO has to see the whites of their eyes ... chucking in a grenade means that the tiny target is not even seen. Far more appealing to the cowards that commit this attrocity in the dead of night ...
