Slow Learner

I never saw this coming. Honest. Never. Raid:
"I heard somebody saying, 'They're coming, they're coming!' And feet pounding on the back stairs, pounding on the door saying they had a search warrant. They busted through the door. They've got their guns cocked at people." Sammy Schutz held tightly to five-year-old Gabe, who had been watching a video with his mother and father and about 20 other people when the police stormed into 827 Smith Avenue in St. Paul, ordering everyone down on the floor.

Down here we have Southern hospitality. We bake and serve cookies when the police come. They like them, we like them, no harm, no foul. Also, Santa Claus likes cookies too.
