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.

Getting out of hand!
Why are these inept so called law enforcement people not stopping the illegal drugs coming in our country killing our young and old people? This is utterly ridiculous.

FURTHER MORE WHERE IS THE BURDEN OF PROOF TO AUTHORIZE SUCH A TASK. THIS SMELLS FOWL AND VERY SUSPICIOUS. THIS ACTION COST THOUSANDS OF TAXPAYER DOLLAR OR A LITTLE OL BLUBERRY BUSH SOMETING IS REAY WRONG HERE FROM STANDPOINT MS. SHELLIE SMITH OT A LAYER NOW A GOOD HUNGRY MEEN NASTY ONE.
SHAMEFUL-they just make things up as they go along. LAWLESSNESS IS ENCOURAGED BY OBAMA AND HIS SS TROOPS.
So… did they not know the difference between marijuana plants vs. blueberry bushes, sunflowers, etc.??? And was a SWAT team necessary?!?! Seriously, were they afraid that the plants might attack them, or that the owner might hose them down with lethal garden water? This is absurd.
I’m surprised they didn’t set her property on fire just to make sure no pot plants escaped their scrutiny!!
it will not be long before american patriots begin counter strike measures against this abuse using egual force and superior tactics !!!
