The team of officers broke in the door, cleared the place out, and removed all the surveillance cameras first thing, or so they thought…
Via Mediaite:
The footage shows that eight officers had masks on and their guns drawn when they entered Sky High Holistic, shouting “everybody on the ground” to customers and workers. After clearing the building of everyone present, the police began to remove the store’s mounted surveillance cameras, though they did not get the ones hidden by the owners when they heard about the upcoming raid.
Marla James, the amputee seen in the footage, intends to sue the city for allegations of police misconduct. Her reasons stem from a part of the video showing that as soon as she left the building, the cops started to crack jokes about her condition. One cop even said, “I was about to kick her in her f—ing nub.”
“They intimidated me. They threatened me,” James said, who is considered legally blind. “What they did, it was like shooting fish in a barrel.”
The rest of the video appears to show at least two different officers sniff, then eat, the store’s pot edibles, while the other officers sought out the rest of the store’s surveillance devices. Matt Pappas, the attorney who edited the video to cut out dead air, plans to bring a suit against the city on behalf of James and the store. “I’d like to see the police officers disciplined for the behavior that goes on here. I’d like to see the city stop engaging in illegal conduct.”
What a pathetic goon squad on parade. Little better than a bunch of middle school bullies. And for what? A medicinal marijuana dispensary? Ooooh. So many “victims” for that “crime”.
An internal affairs investigation is ongoing according to Police Chief Carlos Rojas. A spokesman for the department claims that because the footage is edited down just to show the parts where things are happening, it doesn’t tell the whole story.
Really? Did the store owner edit the footage to show the cops making jokes about assaulting a wheelchair-bound amputee? How about editing it to make it appear like the police are playing darts and eating pot brownies in front of the camera?
