WARRENTLESS HOME INVASION BY FEDERAL MARSHALLS TERRORIZES 59YR OLD FLORIDA NURSE
SARASOTA - Louise Goldsberry was washing dishes after dinner when she looked through her kitchen window to see a man “wearing a hunting vest.” and aiming a gun at her face, with a red laser pinpointing her forehead. "I screamed and screamed,” she said. But she also scrambled across the floor to her bedroom and grabbed her gun, a five-shot .38-caliber revolver. Goldsberry has a concealed weapons permit and says the gun has made her feel safer living alone. But she felt anything but safe when she heard a man yelling to open the door. He was claiming to be a police officer, but the man she had seen looked to her more like an armed thug. Her boyfriend, was calmer, and yelled back that he wanted to see some ID. But the man just demanded they open the door. The actual words, the couple say, were, “We're the fucking police; open the fucking door.” They cautiously moved away from the door, afraid bullets were about to rip through. Goldsberry was terrified but thinking it just might really be the police. Except, she says she wondered, would police talk that way? She had never been arrested or even come close. She couldn't imagine why police would be there or want to come in. But even if they did, why would they act like that at her apartment? It didn't seem right. Then, to the couple's horror as Goldsberry huddled in the hallway with gun in hand the invaders crashed through the front door. A man edged around the corner and pointed a gun in their face and a fiercely bright light at them, and yelled “Drop the fucking gun or I'll fucking shoot you,” he shouted, then said it again and again! The two were handcuffed and frogmarched into the street while proclaiming they were American citizens and this was a travesty. They remained handcuffed on the curb, in front of their neighbors, for half an hour, as their apartment was ransacked. The Federal Marshalls eventually claimed to be looking for a man who wasn't there, never had been, and who was totally unknown to them. They were shown his picture. Then they were uncuffed ,the police left, no apology, lucky to be alive.
