A jury decided last year that the owner of a small organic farm, Shellie Smith, still owes $4000 after a raid by SWAT that destroyed her farm.
Garden of Eden, a small organic in Arlington, Texas, was the target of a SWAT raid in 10-hour long search with Smith being held at gunpoint at one point.
Arlington police dept. stated that there were complaints of marijuana being grown on the premises, but none was found on the property. Instead, law enforcement confiscated 17 blackberry bushes, 15 okra plants, 14 tomatillo plants, native grasses and sunflowers.

GEESE WTF
What is the Truth — When the lie becomes the truth there is no turning backwards.
When war is upheld as a humanitarian endeavor, Justice and the entire international legal system are turned upside down: pacifism and the antiwar movement are criminalized. Opposing the war becomes a criminal act. Meanwhile, the war criminals in high office have ordered a witch hunt against those who challenge their authority.
The Big Lie must be exposed for what it is and what it does.
It sanctions the indiscriminate killing of men, women and children.
It destroys families and people. It destroys the commitment of people towards their fellow human beings.
It prevents people from expressing their solidarity for those who suffer. It upholds war and the police state as the sole avenue.
Break the American inquisition. Members of the armed forces should disobey orders and refuse to participate in a criminal war.
It doesn’t require any conspiracy theorizing to see what’s happening here. Indeed, it takes extreme naiveté, or willful blindness, not to see it.
That willful ignorance is a phenomenon that has been growing year by year and has reached a level where it is a serious threat to our national well being and that of the world at large. These beliefs and attitudes revolve around an apparent inability to deal with reality so people make up stories in order to make themselves feel better. To be clear, these stories are often driven by ideology rather than truth.
In Reading Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States”, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz’s “An indigenous peoples history of the United States”, and Oliver Stone’s “The Untold History of the United States”, One would find the United States is founded on torture and human abuse for land/resource speculation and theft.

I don’t know about any of you but last I knew I could tell the difference between black berry bushes, okra , sun flowers, tomatilloes & pot plants
They were looking for some pie filling!
Gotta justify the budget…
Any of the pigs involved in raids like this can go straight to hell.
We pay for this!!!!!!!!!
It makes perfect sense to a liberal – what’s mine is mine, what’s yours is minefor the taking, especially when draped in camo’s & obscene liberal toys.
