Cops leave Beach Park home in shambles after drug raid goes awry
Architect Paul Brown was in the basement of his home at the end of Adelphi Avenue when he heard a “huge noise” Friday afternoon that drew him up the stairs where he was meet by gun in his face.
He was handcuffed and placed on a chair. And a gun was still pointed at his face.
“They wouldn’t tell us why they were there,” he said. Afterward, he was able to piece some of what happened together.
A package was delivered, it was about 18 inches by 18 inches 22 to 24 inches tall, by a postal inspector and was accepted outside the open garage by Brown’s son-in-law, Wilmer Aries, 28, who is married to his daughter Ericka, 23, who also live in the home.
Aries brought the package, with a name of someone who did not live there, inside the house and placed it inside the front door in the foyer. It was never opened, according to Brown.

Where's the "shambles?" It's 8 pictures of a broken front door.
As is typical in such cases most of the upheaval these cops do is the sort of thing you would clean up after they were gone. The majority of it would be drawers emptied out into the floor, kitchen cupboards likewise, bedding and mattresses removed or overturned, and so on. There could be some permanent damage to items inside the home, but broken dishes, lamps, etc. would be tossed out. Unless a reporter arrived to take pictures immediately after the event such things would no longer be evident unless the homeowner deliberately left them that way, and not many would do so.
The only lasting damage (and thus photographable days later) would be to the structure of the home itself, and of course that would largely be confined to the entranceway they broke through in the first place. Hence, a slideshow featuring most prominently a broken front door.
I know you like to defend actions like these, I've seen you try it many times before, but your criticisms here are just silly. The article is quite descriptive, if you wish to know what the "shambles" consisted of the information is in there. Further, perhaps you'd like to address the action of the police officers themselves. Defend that if you can. It is after all the entire point of the story.
