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.

The Garden Brigade? Perhaps a wheelbarrow would be more in order then the tactical vehicle shown?
Police state is already here, More like Impending Martial Law.
Wth. Has this world come too? They should have to replace it
This SWAT team must feel really proud. NOT
Hungry?.
Wannabe dog shooting tough guys……f’n useless…
Why would a SWAT team be used here? I’m not buying this story. Before you folks cry wolf, make your once upon a time story believable. I like information but not blown out of proportion Fairy Tales. Do you folks think people are stupid enough read every blown up piece of c**p you print? Try printing the truth for a change. Try the Facts, just the facts. We don’t need you BS hype. This is stupid.
Can you say Agenda 21?
swat team, or gestapo?
Police state actions.
