U.S. Marshals Draw Guns on Bradenton Mother, Baby After Knocking on Wrong Apartment [FL]
WFLA ^ | Oct 27, 2021 | Jeff Patterson

A young Bradenton mother says she was in fear when she looked at her Ring App and saw armed men at her door.

Kada Staples says the men had their weapons pointed at her door and when she said hello, they ordered her to come out and said “we know he’s in there”.

The armed men were U.S. Marshals. Staples believes they were looking for a murder suspect, but they had the wrong apartment. At the time she opened her door and still didn’t understand what was going on.

Florida elementary school principal arrested after driving BMW at neighbor, flipping them off, deputies say “I cracked the door open and they pushed the door open and pushed me and my baby out of the way. They are holding us at gunpoint, screaming, there is a gun about a foot away from her face, ” said Staples as she held her three-month-old baby.

She said the U.S. Marshals kept saying,” We know Jamar is in there.”

“With that, they run in my apartment. There’s probably 6 or 7 of them out there with guns. 3 or 4 of them run into my apartment and are running around. They are still yelling at me that I’m lying,” said Staples.

She says she had been napping with her infant and was the only one inside when the Marshals soon realized their mistake.

“Then one of the guys in the hallway is like, wait, this is apartment and then said my apartment number and then kind of repeated it again and then they ran out and said, that’s the wrong apartment,” said Staples.

Don’t change your voicemail: Ignore that viral Facebook post and do this instead She says the Marshals left, but never even apologized for their actions or their mistake.

“No sorry, no nothing, they tell me, you’re good and another one said you’re fine,” said Staples.

She says when she called the U.S. Marshals Service to ask why officers had entered her apartment, she asked if they could provide a mental health counselor to help her deal with the anxiety brought on by the event.

She says a man on the phone told her to take melatonin and “get over it.”

8 On Your Side has called and emailed the U.S. Marshals service to find out why officers were at the wrong apartment and to find out if the officers involved will face any discipline. The U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Department of Justice have not responded.

FDIC has Nothing to do with medical.

Did agent go to wrong apt building or wrong apt #? Either way is it too much to ask deadly force users to get a freaking address or apt# right?

Tucson SWAT team:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIUnEWYdPnI

“Asleep after returning from a 12-hour overnight shift at the ASARCO Mission mine, Guerena was awakened about 9:30 a.m. by his wife who heard noises outside their house, later identified as flash/bang grenades deployed by police in the back yard as a diversion.[10] He instructed his wife and 4-year-old son to hide inside a closet while he grabbed his AR-15 rifle and crouched down preparing to defend himself from the unidentified people breaking into his home. The Sheriff’s Department initially claimed that Guerena had fired on officers; at least three of the SWAT members including the team commander reported in their post-operation debriefings that they had observed muzzle flashes aimed at them from inside the house.[11] After an examination of Guerena’s rifle however, it was determined that the rifle had not been fired; the safety was still engaged. Other officers claimed they saw splinters from the doorjamb being hit by bullets; the shots that caused this were determined to come from other members of the SWAT team themselves....

...At this point the five person team fired at least 71 rounds at Guerena in less than seven seconds, who died after being hit 22 times.[15][16]

Guerena’s wife called 911 to request medical assistance for her husband shortly after the shooting. Paramedics, however, were instructed to hold back. Guerena was denied attention, for about one hour, until the team declared the “area secured”. Ambulance crews were then notified they were no longer needed, one hour and fourteen minutes after Guerena’s wife’s call to 911....

...Guerena’s widow states that she had no knowledge that the man she saw pointing a gun at her through the window was a police officer, and thought that he was part of a home invasion group. She has stated that two members of her sister-in-law’s family were killed previously in a home invasion.[24] As of May 2011, that case, in which Cynthia and Manny Orozco were killed and their 2-year-old daughter seriously injured, remains unsolved....

In September 2013, Pima County, the towns of Sahuarita, Marana, and Oro Valley, approved a combined settlement of $3.4 million to Guerena’s widow, with Pima County contributing $2.35 million, Sahuarita, $260,000, Marana, $720,000, and Oro Valley, $100,000. The settlements required approval from each jurisdictions board, with only one board member from Pima county dissenting.[9] Pima County officials claim that the settlement does not imply wrongdoing.”

“No sorry, no nothing, they tell me, you’re good and another one said you’re fine,” said Staples.

As he holstered his Baldwin she should have kicked him in the sack and said "Yeah, I'm fine. How are you doing?"

I remember that. But what the hell. The Police are on our side, so that is all that matters. I would hate to see it if they were against us.

Also, must have not had a dog.

Bradenton isn’t too far from the Carlton Preserve where they found what’s left of Brian Laundrie.

You may have figured out by now that the FDA is not the FDIC.

The FDIC is corrupt as the rest. They have entirely proved that in recent times. They are just another arm of the deep state. The FDIC is responsible for approving killer vaccines. Now even in small children. The FDIC is responsible for keeping Covid treatments from the public. They are scum.

Uh, what???

I have gone a couple of rounds with DCAA. I agree - nothing good to say about them.

I’ve had experience with US Marshalls

Y’all do not know what you’re talking about

They made a mistake yes

Marshalls are not rogue like the FBI is

They are pretty decent in my experience ...very actually.

And I saw that from a perspective lol not shared by many here ...

I chuckling out loud me defending any Feds.....would not have believed that 30 years ago

But truth is truth

Marshalls chased a fugitive guns drawn

It’s what they do besides transport federal prisoners

Wrong house....guns pointed

Ok they should apologize

Maybe they did

Like I said she wants to be paid

Wardaddy....now known as bootlicker ....too funny

The arrogant left in charge of Sodom on the Potomac has only emboldened this type of crap out of federal agencies. They don’t give a tinkers damned about the citizens of this Republic any longer. They are not here to “protect and serve” any longer. Nope, it is all about “divide and conquer the masses.” They get away with crap like this because the judges appointed by the leftist presidents like Klinton, Bush 1 and 2, O’Scum-ma Obama, and BrainDead Biden, picked them and they will rule accordingly. To hell with the American public. We mean nothing to these bastards (sorry ladies for my french) any more. We are just cattle to the slaughter. Kill, burn, rape, murder, mayhelm, you name it and they endorse it. I cannot wait for the Judgment of the Most High GOD to come down upon these heathen!! Judgement Day IS coming!!!

I also worked a few years at the Defense Contract Audit Agency, DCAA. I have nothing positive to say about this agency.

I'll bet you had some pretty good business lunches, though.
