Yet another raid on a wrong address leading to innocent citizens being terrorized. Federal DEA agents barged in on an innocent family in the middle of the night. The agents entered the children's bedroom and yelled "GET ON THE F***ING GROUND" to the two daughters, age 11 and 14. But the younger daughter stayed in bed, frozen in fear. The agents DRAGGED her out of bed, literally with a gun pointed at her head.
The raid happened in 2007 under the last administration.
The current administration stands by the DEA agents.
