Come and Knock on Our Door

David Johnson and his family are suing the cities of Caldwell and Nampa, Idaho, after cops kicked in the door of their apartment and pulled them out at gunpoint. The lawsuit says a woman told police that a neighbor had threatened her and cops who responded to the report kicked in the wrong door. Officials say the Johnsons' rights weren't violated and police had sufficient reason to conduct a "no-knock, no warrant-welfare check" at their apartment.
