Cops sued over botched drug raid

Another day, another innocent family terrorized in a botched raid by the drug warriors.

This time, the victims are fighting back!

A month ago, a Detroit woman and her children ages 9 to 18 were at home when they were raided by police. About 14 officers barged into the family's home with no search warrant and demanded to know where drugs and guns were.

But the woman had no guns or drugs. When she told the cops this, they brutally twisted her arm - in full view of her kids. The ordeal lasted 2 hours, while police manhandled the children and used racial slurs.

The next day, cops approached the woman with Wal-Mart and Target gift certificates, $100 in cash, and a promise to buy her a cashmere coat.

In other words, the police tried paying her off so she wouldn't sue them.

Guess what? This attempted payoff didn't work. Now the woman is suing the Detroit Police Department for $15,000,000 over the attack.

The police should have to pay dearly. The War on Drugs is out of control, and more and more innocent Americans are finding their homes raided for nothing.
