A Union County, Illinois family found themselves staring down the business end of SWAT cops’ machine guns. The raid happened last Wednesday morning when drug agents swarmed their home, armed with military weapons and even a warrant, based on nothing more than neighborhood speculation. “I heard the dogs barking. And I knew that meant somebody was outside the house,” Laura Benson said. “And I looked out the windows and I seen a truck coming up the driveway fairly fast. And an Anna police car right behind it.” Laura thought that her son must have been in trouble, since she knew she hadn’t done anything to justify the raid. “They had a report of a meth lab going on on our property. And they wanted to investigate it.” She couldn’t believe her ears. Drugs? Meth? “They pointed to the buckets and I told them my husband has a hobby of making maple syrup. Of course they realized it once they seen it,” Laura laughed. “But I was quite startled this morning. “I think my neighbors on their way to church see the buckets and stuff and think we’ve got a meth lab operation going on here. I just want to put their minds at ease, and let them know it’s maple syrup. And that they’re all welcome for pancakes if they want to come on over.” The Benson’s had a good sense of humor about the whole thing, but this could have ended in tragedy… and for what? Neighbors complaining about rumors and speculation? If that’s all it takes to get a drug warrant these days, are any of us really safe?

Thankfully, neither the dog or the family was murdered. "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." - Frederic Bastiat
Sounds like this was a case of: I heard the dogs barking.

The official police report should lead into their findings as evidence to the state about sugar. Cops need a lot of sugar in their donuts. There is nothing like a maple donut.

The neighbors were good little citizens, weren't they? Remember boys and girls: If you see something, say something!!

Uhhuh. Sounds like cops that claim that they thought that a cell phone was a bazooka. F'n morons! “They had a report of a meth lab going on on our property. And they wanted to investigate it.”

Ya know, in a former day they would have simply gotten a search warrant, gone over with a few guys, searched the basement where anything would have been going on, seen that whomever reported it, if that even really happened, was full of shit, apologized and moved-on. But NOOOO! FF to today. These pathetic and psychotic assclowns are so f'ing paranoid that they're worried about a couple at home thinking they might harm them. Whatever. Then, like the psychotics that they are, they raid the place like the barbarian swine that they are with their 85 IQs and behave like this. It really is unbelievable. The raid happened last Wednesday morning when drug agents swarmed their home, armed with military weapons and even a warrant, based on nothing more than neighborhood speculation.

That might be construed as a failed attempt on the part of the establishment. "Collateral damage" must always be exponentially greater than any damage potentially wrought by the stated threat. Thankfully, neither the dog or the family was murdered.
