The length of detention is of minor importance compared to breaking down doors and pulling people out of their homes indiscriminately (across an entire 5-story apartment building) at 3AM. This is extremely different from other crackdowns. There isn't a way you can rhetorically salvage it; you will keep running aground of the fact that they rousted and detained an entire building at 3AM.
It is hardly rhetorical. If warrant was issued, would you accept it or not? Either way, it would be interesting to know.
I'm really not interested in hair-splitting this, sorry. A claim was made upthread about the ordinariness of what happened with this raid; that claim was luridly false. I'm happy to leave it there.
