Newt Gingrich is upset about no-knock raids.* I feel a thread coming on. (*against wealthy, white, Republican lawyers)https://twitter.com/jonfavs/status/984280156503138304 …
Here's one for you, Newt: Cops in SC broke down the door of Julian Betton over $100 worth of pot. They shot 57 times, hitting him 9. They then lied about the raid and brought false charges. He's now paralyzed, and lost the use of several organs.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2018/03/27/man-shot-at-57-times-during-raid-over-100-pot-sale-gets-2-75-million-settlement/?utm_term=.366ed03050e4 …
Another one for you Newt: Cops shot Jesus Ferreira after busting down the door to a home where he was sleeping as a guest. They then shot him after mistaking a video game controller for a gun. He lost his spleen. He was not suspected of any crime.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2017/10/06/an-innocent-man-lost-his-spleen-after-police-shot-him-during-a-drug-raid-the-courts-and-city-government-say-tough-luck/?utm_term=.eb9d7e164478 …
Check out this one, Newt: Last year, Toledo cops broke down man's door, busted out several windows, and shot and killed his two dogs. They were looking for drugs. They found a single pill. It was for high blood pressure. http://www.wtol.com/story/36720927/homeowner-accuses-tpd-of-raiding-wrong-house …
Psst. Newt: Two years ago, the family of a Massachusetts man reached a settlement for police killing him in his own home during a no-knock drug raid. They were looking for his nephew. The dead man was suspected of no crime.https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/settlement-of-federal-civil-rights-lawsuit-by-family-of-eurie-stamps-who-was-shot-and-killed-by-a-framingham-ma-police-officer-300337450.html …
You want to talk about Gestapo tactics, Newt? Talk to the two Detroit women wrongly raided and roughed up by a team of masked DEA agents. For over 10 years, the women have tried to get the DEA to release the agents' names so they can sue. No luck.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2016/08/30/for-nine-years-dea-withholds-names-of-masked-agents-who-violently-raided-two-innocent-women-federal-court-shrugs/?utm_term=.d8fc54eff078 …
Newt: Here's a student who claims that raiding cops beat the hell out of him while searching for marijuana. Marijuana! They didn't find any.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2015/10/07/another-isolated-incident-student-claims-injuries-from-mistaken-drug-raid/?utm_term=.9004377add55 …
More comin' at ya', Newt. Raiding cops shot and killed Jason Wescott in his own home over an alleged $200 sale of pot that the police informant later admitted was a lie.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2014/12/31/a-drug-informant-lied-swat-pounced-a-man-died/?utm_term=.a720878ebb38 …
Newt: In 2012, FBI agents cut a woman's door down with a chainsaw and held her at gunpoint during a drug raid. They had the wrong place. Crazy, right?https://www.policeone.com/federal-law-enforcement/articles/5015099-FBI-cuts-down-Mass-moms-door-in-wrong-home-raid/ …
Newt: Then there's the time raiding New Hampshire cops shot a woman as she held her young granddaughter. Drug raid. Wrong house. http://www.unionleader.com/article/20140919/NEWS03/140918916 …
