"SWAT teams, in full military protective gear
and armed with assault rifles, are being deployed against innocent,
unsuspecting citizens all over the United States. Ten days ago, it was Kyle
Giersdorf, alias Bugha, a 16-year-old Twitch streamer and reigning Fortnite
champion, in Upper Pottsgrove Township, Pennsylvania. Giersdorf was unhurt—in
part because an officer recognized him from around town and diffused the
situation. Last Wednesday, it was Ijeoma Oluo, author of So You Want to Talk
About Race, in King County, Washington. Her son was home alone, sleeping. Last
weekend, it was a resident of Lancaster, Ohio, who had not shot his girlfriend
or taken children hostage. This Monday, it was somebody in Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
after a 911 caller wrongly reported a shooting and possible homicide at their
address."

HERE IN COATESVILLE, PA THIS CAME OUT AT A CALN TOWNSHIP MEETING.
AS FAR AS I CAN TELL COATESVILLE DEMS BLOG IS THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN READ ABOUT THIS.
A DAILY LOCAL NEWS REPORTER WAS AT THE MEETING BUT NOTHING ABOUT POLICE RAIDING A 70 YEAR OLD BLACK WOMEN WITH A HEART CONDITION'S HOME AND PUTTING A GUN TO HER HEAD CAME OUT IN THE DLN.
THEY RAIDED THE WRONG HOUSE. THEY WERE MISDIRECTED BY AN ASSOCIATE OF THE MAN THEY WERE LOOKING FOR.

Updated information on:
The word on the street is that the you can add members of the Philadelphia Police Force to the “multi-jurisdictional task force” that Caln Police Chief Byerly said “is made up of US Marshals, it’s made up of Pennsylvania State Police, It’s made up of members of Chester County District Attorney’s office and It’s made up of members from the Coatesville Police Department.” There were no Caln Police present.
The word on the street is that they allegedly had a "Body Warrant" for a suspect but no “Search Warrant” for a home belonging to a black woman in her 70s.
The woman and her sons have no criminal records.
Only a "Search Warrant" allows them to enter the house. The "Body Warrant" does not allow them to enter.
The alleged “credible information” that the “multi-jurisdictional task force” had, turned out to be alleged unreliable and not vetted intelligence that allegedly came from a relative of the person they were pursuing.
To recap, allegedly:
A tactical police squad arrived at the front door calling out “Medics” and burst into the home of an elderly black woman with a heart condition who walks with a cane and held several guns to her head causing her to fall backward.
The police were acting on unverified information from a relative of the suspect. They did not have a "Search Warrant" and entered illegally expecting to find a person they had a “body warrant” for. It was the wrong house and the suspect had nothing at all to do with the house or anyone that ever lived at that address.
I believe this was a botched up and amateurish police action.
It’s a setback to the good police/community relations we have worked so very hard to achieve in Coatesville
The “multi-jurisdictional task force” allegedly called an ambulance for the woman.
