Wow. Thanks for posting that man, good reference page.

I think we may be turning the tide a bit against these military raids on American families, there seems to be a growing backlash.

Bradbury concluded that, confirming Donald Scott's fears, the L.A. sheriff's department conducted its raid for the purpose of seizing Donald Scott's property through drug asset forfeiture laws. Under federal law, the department would have been able divvy up proceeds from the $2.5 million ranch with the four other agencies joining in the investigation. Bradbury found documents in which the investigating agencies had expressed desire for Scott's land on various "wish lists," and one notation in which sheriff's department officials had taken note of the recent sale value of one parcel of Scott's land.

During the raid, police seized more than $10,000 in cash, and announced plans to claim the money for themselves via asset forfeiture laws. Police backed off those plans when the Paz family demonstrated proof that the money was their life savings.

When was this? Did anyone get fired or charged with anything?

Man, just seeing that a page of this magnitude exists in reference to this problem gave me an immediate sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Righteous indignation. There oughtta be more of it. This is plain wrong.

In America.
