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.

What is wrong with these people?! What happened to, “Lets investigate first”? There should never have been any destruction of these poor peoples’ property without actual proof of any marijuana being grown on the property. This type of police action is becoming increasingly common and should be stopped! Unbelievable! And they wonder why more people are going “postal”!
Blueberries? Really?
OH NO !!! NOT thoses dangerous blueberrys . How much more stupid can they get ? I have some killer chickens better send the National Guard .
Who owes who? Crazy!
Mad…
Unruly people are the cause !!!
What ever possessed those cops to confiscate OKRA PLANTS, BLUEBERRY PLANTS, and
Where they short on blueberrys for their oatmeal?
And the sheeple in Texas let this happen and did nothing about it?????????
the way our america is going and the way people are killing looting burning we will be glad they are out there even if they have to be militarized. We need law and order right now.
