Department defends raid that produced zero evidence
The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, detailed to CBS Miami the moment that Riviera Beach Police threw a flash bang grenade into her home.
I dont know how the cops got in here, the woman said. The noise woke me up when something said boom! Like a bomb or something.
After breaking through her front door and shattering several windows, police began demanding access to an alleged drug supply.
Cops standing over here talking about wheres the drugs? I said what? What drugs? Aint no drugs in here, she said.
Police claim they obtained a warrant after witnessing criminal activity at the womans home.
After searching the residence with drug sniffing dogs, police were unable to produce any evidence of criminal activity.
The woman, who has lived at the home for more than 25-years, says she has never been arrested once in her entire life.
Ive never been arrested, never been in jail, she said.
Police refuted the womans claim that the raid was carried out on the wrong home and stated that even if she was unaware of drug dealing, it doesnt mean it didnt happen.
Although claiming to be justified, the department and city have promised to replace her door and windows by the end of the month.
No-knock drug raids have become commonplace among American law enforcement despite their often disastrous results for innocent bystanders and even police.
The article didn't document the time, date, location, alleged victim, the police department... anything. Just that an Anonymous person claimed an anonymous PD violated her rights.
An 11-year-old boy remained hospitalized Friday after he heard gunshots, stepped outside his home and was shot in the stomach.
The father and grandmother of the boy, a fifth-grader, were at St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, where the boy was listed in critical but stable condition, the family said.
The boy's father told WPEC-Ch.12 that the boy went outside to get his 13- year-old sister, after he heard gunshots in his neighborhood. When the boy walked back inside his home, he dropped to the floor.
It happened just after 11 p.m. Thursday in the 2900 Block of Avenue F, which is just east of Old Dixie Highway in Riviera Beach.
It looks like the jurisdiction is a drug infested shit hole.
Riviera Beach police using armored truck to keep 'eye' on crime
Surveillance truck camped out in neighborhood
RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. - A Riviera Beach neighborhood is under close police watch and officers are not being shy about how - or why - their surveillance tactics have been rolled in. The department is going high-tech to combat dangerous crimes.
A mid-August murder on the streets of Riviera Beach is the reason why the neighborhood is currently under surveillance.
"You don't know where we are, but we know where you are," said Maj. Leonard B. Mitchell of the Riviera Beach Police Department.
The police force recently introduced 'The Eye' as the department's newest high-tech crime-fighting tool. These days, 'The Eye' is watching from the corner of Avenue O and West 26th Court.
"We've gotten intelligence that something may be happening in the neighborhood," said Maj. Mitchell.
Police are keeping their eye out for potential criminal activity related to that August 15 murder. A 19-year-old was shot and killed. Another man was injured by gunfire.
"This truck is solid. You can't move it," said Mitchell.
The armored former Brinks truck is bullet-resistant. It has been retro- fitted with cameras and other equipment linked directly to police headquarters.
It is also nearly impossible not to realize that someone is being watched. That, police say, is exactly why - and how - this watchful 'eye' may be working.
"We're letting them know that you're going to stand your ground and not let it happen," Mitchell said.
Police say the truck itself was a bargain. Brinks gave it to the department for just $10. The equipment inside was paid for with grants.
How does that excuse the crimes the porker pig cops comitt? It doesn't and you always come up with lies and excuses. People hate the cops now and that's a fact. I don't care what government poll you cite to say otherwise.
