In short, these are people outside the perimeter of operation who were roughed up, smacked around, tear-gassed, or otherwise harmed by jackbooted thugs It's only a claim, it's not a fact.

Hey, it's time for the court to decide if these are allegations.
If they were so simple to deal with, betcha' the government wouldn't have bothered to send a lawyer to the court eh?!

I believe it though
I hope this gets traction, I hope the JD has to shell out millions and I hope those scumbags lose their jobs

I believe it though I'm sure you do. Lots of people believe things that may have never happened.

Is this a little close to home? Whistling past the graveyard perhaps?
Here's hoping for a jury that takes a dim view of people being assaulted by Federal Officers on their own property
Good luck in the job search. May I suggest something that doesn't involve law enforcement.

The Gonzalez family made the same claims and their case was dismissed. If any of the officers did use excessive force, then they should be fired, but the Gonzalez family could not prove it, so I doubt the neighbors will be able to prove it.
As for a new job, I'll be here for a long long time. Thanks for your concern.

You're 100% right. It was a made for TV hit, and I have never understood why anyone, regardless of how they felt about the situation, could ever support that.

Do you really think that those folks would shoot Federal Agents? They claimed they would.

Well, lets hope that this one gets to jury. Judicial Watch is pretty incompetent. Anyone who watched the tape could clearly see the Feds were over the top.
I think the neighbors who were standing on their own property and got thrown around have a pretty good case
Probably no one will prosecute those bastards who actually went into the house, have to agree with you on that. Interesting that the government is being very careful not to have their names publicized.
Imagine what their neighbors would think if they knew they had a "hero" like that living next door.
Decent people would shun them. Hence no publicity.
A for you continuing in your present capacity, a pity, you obviously approve of the whole thing.
Just the kind of mentality we need in Federal Law Enforcement

I'm still wondering how that THUG pointed gun at Elian (in the photo) can live with himself. He's probably using the excuse that he was just following orders....

I don't think Janet worked for Poppy......
Janet had a drama mentality. Waco, Ruby Ridge, Elian are all excellent examples of it.

Whatever happened to Gilligan's suit?
The Gonzalez family made the same claims and their case was dismissed.

13 neighbors and protesters are seeking up to $250,000 each, claiming that agents used excessive force during the armed raid. Gee, and none of them are even the kid in question.
Do you reckon their sacred cubano yards got trampled or what?
Nice folks. We need more like 'em, eh?
