“A crack SWAT team of sherrif’s deputies, health inspectors, and Ohio Department of Agriculture officials busted into the Manna Storehouse food co-op in LaGrange, Ohio, in a raid last week.”

Last I checked, SWAT teams aren’t made up of health inspectors either.

I agree, exaggerated B.S.

There are other threads about this. Apparently a health inspector had been trying to "infiltrate" the co-op and was rebuffed as "odd". Why didn't they just come in as an official? Btw, in the other reports it said the "health inspector" was present for the raid. It also gave his name. These people are accused of selling beef without a license. I'll be interested in hearing the rest of the story.

The BS is the government at any level interfering with the operation of a business selling a legal product. Whether or not there were “jackbooted thugs” or not, these people should have been left alone. Additionally, I am more inclined to believe the story of the victims of this raid than the public officials who implemented and then defended it. The base line position is that those in power are not telling the truth, not the victimized subjects.
