Police raid felt like home invasion
Herald-Tribune (Sarasota, FL) ^ | 7/18/2013 | Tom Lyons

Posted on 07/19/2013 9:10:11 PM PDT by tpmintx

After leaving her operating room scrub nurse duties at Sarasota's Doctors Hospital on Wednesday, Louise Goldsberry went to her Hidden Lake Village apartment.

Her boyfriend came over, and after dinner — about 8 p.m. — Goldsberry went to her kitchen sink to wash some dishes.

That's when her boyfriend, Craig Dorris — a manager for a security alarm company — heard her scream and saw her drop to the floor.

Goldsberry, 59, said she had looked up from the sink to see a man “wearing a hunting vest.”

He was aiming a gun at her face, with a red light pinpointing her.

“I screamed and screamed,” she said.

But she also scrambled across the floor to her bedroom and grabbed her gun, a five-shot .38-caliber revolver. Goldsberry has a concealed weapons permit and says the gun has made her feel safer living alone. But she felt anything but safe when she heard a man yelling to open the door.

He was claiming to be a police officer, but the man she had seen looked to her more like an armed thug. Her boyfriend, Dorris, was calmer, and yelled back that he wanted to see some ID.

But the man just demanded they open the door. The actual words, the couple say, were, “We're the f------ police; open the f------ door.”

Dorris said he moved away from the door, afraid bullets were about to rip through.

Goldsberry was terrified but thinking it just might really be the police. Except, she says she wondered, would police talk that way? She had never been arrested or even come close. She couldn't imagine why police would be there or want to come in. But even if they did, why would they act like that at her apartment? It didn't seem right.

Money in the form of OT is why so many show up.

I wonder why federal marshals had jurisdiction for a “child rapist”, not normally a federal crime. Perhaps they were just “assisting” the local LEOs at the scene?

I see two options.

They were on a OT funded Panty Raid.

OR...

The rape victim was the child of someone with political influence.

A retired LEO said that it could be federal if the criminal fled across state lines.

Here is a source with more INFO.

It’s TWO GUYS, not just one. Both caught in Sarasota, crime happened in Sarasota.

Don’t see how that involves crossing state lines.

The Bozoton spectacle chasing down an unarmed Tarnaev brother was supposed to make Americans more compliant to the SS tactics of lawless oligarchy, little barry bastard boy edition. All those armed and armored storm troopers was supposed to make Americans cringe and fold into a fetal ball whenever oligarchs send their storm troopers to take over a community, lawlessly.

I agree. It was simple speculation.

Another possibility: the Feds were “invited” by the locals to help out, therefore the “arrests” would be purely local.

The storm troopers scream because they are scared. And with the weaponry at their disposal that makes for a very bad scenario, as the many dead dogs and bullet riddled innocents will attest.

Well per the story the woman did appear to roll up into a fetal ball. Lucky for her and her boy friend she did not use her weapon as she appeared to be justified to do.

The fool trooper is just very lucky he didn't laser someone in my area of America. He would have been lasered back and aerated before he lasered anyone else. The only thing that will stop this growing trend of SS style stormtrooper thuggery is for a few of these SS to be shot dead on one of their illicit invasions fo Americans' homes. It is already impossible to stop it via lawful means because the courts are thoroughly corrupted and protecting the thuggery.

We should have learned, we the people, when Waco and other incidents of stormtrooper SS tactics were used to murder innocents. We yawned and magically thought it couldn't happen in our town, it was an anomaly, a fluke, a mistake that would not be repeated. Ruby Ridge, then Waco ... the American people are too easily herded about by the cadre of sycophantic liars called 'the media'.
