Cops Raid Wrong Address, Abuse Naked Woman, Kids"Stop f*cking crying!" Massachusetts SWAT cops berated their victim. "We treated you with respect," they tried to tell her later.
Marianne Diaz said she was awakened about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday by SWAT officers knocking down the door to her Worcester, Massachusetts, apartment as officers wearing helmets and shields burst inside and pointed big guns at her head, reported the Telegram & Gazette.
Stop f*cking crying and take care of your f*cking kids, one officer commanded, Diaz said.
Diaz said her 7-year-old daughter was shaking in terror as she held her 18-month-old daughter in her lap, and she said officers would not allow her to cover up for about 10 minutes after a woman officer frisked her nude body.
It was terrorizing, and the worst thing Ive ever been through in my life, Diaz told WBZ-TV. They were loud, vulgar and disgusting in behavior.
-----
After officers failed to turn up any drugs, weapons or the target of their warrant, Diaz said they started murmuring to one another.
Oh sh*t, the snake got away, one officer said, according to Diaz.
Diaz has asked the city and police department to investigate why the raid was permitted in the first place, but prosecutors have already said it was executed in the manner it was for the safety of all involved.

This sort of thing isn't even acceptable toward people who are breaking the law. WAY out of bounds. And people flippantly say we don't have a police state in the making.
Don't worry, they'll come visit everyone in time.

(99,531 posts)this is sanctioned terrorism and is what the 1% have decided is best for us because it keeps us from thinking we have rights or that we can defend our rights. It also is a money maker for the NRA and they like this stuff a whole lot because it will set them up for endless profits, and then there's big pharma who are likely providing the "roids for the perps.
