IDIOTS: Computer glitch blamed for years of police raids on elderly Brooklyn couple’s home. “A computer database glitch has sent police to the home of an elderly Brooklyn couple more than 50 times since 2002, sheepish cops admitted today. Walter and Rose Martin endured the most recent raid on Tuesday, when four cops showed up looking for a suspect. Two officers broke a window in the back of their Marine Park home. Police are still investigating why the couples’ address shows up in their database when some suspects’ names are keyed in.”

The Martins should be entitled to randomly break down the doors of 50 elected officials in New York in recompense. Or maybe 150, as treble damages.
