Basically, the person they were looking for didn't live in the home and wasn't there but they did a no-knock raid anyway. In doing so, they threw a stun-grenade through the window but unfortunately it landed in the toddler's crib and fricked his face up permanently and collapsed his lung.



The kid (who is innocent, btw) has undergone a lot of medical procedures trying to repair the damage the best as possible.

The kid wasn't white so a bunch of people from Atlanta went down to Habersham County in protest and apparently that SWAT unit has since been disbanded and I think even the judge who issued the warrant got canned. The Sheriff's office still denies responsibility and the sheriff was quoted as saying he would do it all over again.

Should the county/Sheriff's department pay for the medical bills? What say the OT?

Horrible. The family isn't trying to sue the dept to pay for the medical bills?

They likely will have to take it to civil court. The county doesn't have to pay because there's some Georgia state law that protects police forces from being liable for damages.

Sheriff's dept should have taken it out of the kick-backs and just paid the med bills to shut this up.

But they think they're doing God's work and that the only people complaining about unnecessarily blowing toddlers up are those godless liberal city slickers.

If youre going to provide your own incendiary spin, I'd assume you'd have to be familiar with a thing or two about Georgia to be in a position to do so. You not knowing where habersham is in relation to atlanta is not a good start.

But yes, horrible horrible story.

This is sickening. ... And yes, the sheriff's dept. should pay the med bills, plus a lot more.

fairly typical attitude of sheriffs. I'm sure boot lickers will be here to defend this department

I don't care what the geographical relation is. It's a figure of speech.

I genuinely hope a grenade explodes in his fricking face and blows his head off.

I made it through 3 minutes of that video and had to turn it off. The fact that he's leading anything other than a shift at a Burger King is insane.

Perfect example of why small town and/or rural law enforcement departments scare the shite out of me.

He's more of a retard than a coward.

I would love to know the average iq/act score rural police officers. They are literally America's dumbest and fattest people.
