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.

Its not going to get any better! Welcome to Obama’s AmeriKa!
Some body goofed again. Like the flash bang grenade being tossed into a babies crib. Burning the crib, baby and it almost died.
Will be scar ed for life.
Texas is now a Police State??? WTFK, over?
They should be paying her for the damage they did. Cops that want to play dress up like soldiers.
Whenever the police do something wrong they always find an excuse and are never held responsible for their actions.
GESTAPO,,,,,DEMOCRAT CONTROL THING
Tamas Mudrony sounds stupid
oK..SO the neighbors ratted her out under the guise of marijuana because they did not like the appearance of her property and SWAT raided without a warrant and she was fined for Code Violations and property confiscated. In the world that I know and Inspector is sent out to property and if violations are found the owner is given an amount of time to correct the problems. What has changed in this country? Is this really No Longer” America The Free”?
self sufficient land here… come mess with me pig swat cops get carried out
