No knock-knock

Fifty-seven-year-old Alberta Spruill was getting ready for work on May 16 when a police raiding party in search of a drug dealer broke down the door of her Harlem apartment, tossed in a "flash bang" stun grenade and handcuffed her to a chair. After realizing their mistake -- the man they wanted lived in the same building but had been arrested by a different police unit four days earlier -- the police uncuffed Ms. Spruill, checked her vital signs and sent her to the Emergency Room. Spruill, however, who suffered from a heart condition, died on the way to the hospital.
