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?

Agent: Gas gun was used to keep Elian demonstrators at bay
an Associated Press report 01/28/05

MIAMI - A federal agent testified Thursday that he sprayed a tear gas gun at demonstrators outside the home of Elian Gonzalez's Miami relatives to keep them from surging over barricades and interfering with the raid to seize the boy and return him to his father in Cuba.

Agent Daniel J. Dargan, testifying in a lawsuit brought against the U.S. government by 13 people who say they were injured by agents, said he was the only one assigned a gas gun during the April 2000 raid and did not remember which supervisor assigned it to him.

"I never sprayed it directly at one person," Dargan said.

The 13 plaintiffs -- nine people in neighboring houses and four women who were behind police barricades -- are seeking up $250,000. They blame their injuries and emotional distress on biased agents bearing shotguns and gas guns.

I guess that according to you, we need more Federal agents who spray tear gas at people standing behind barricades an on their front lawns.
