Wrong Address SWAT Raid Terrorizes Eight Children
Guns drawn, door busted down.
What do you do when armed police officers burst into your home with guns pointed on eight children and two women?
If you are LaMouria Lloyd you get angry! You get furious!
Lloyd said she and her sister are still reeling from the effects of the intrusion into their 1607 Alabama Street home on July 31st by three members of what she called a Swat Team with guns pointed at all of the women and children, yelling and cursing looking for a suspect.
The police had the wrong house, but they traumatized the residents and broke down their door.
