Police in Spring Valley, New York Terrorize Innocent Family
by Cannabis Karri
Police conducting raids in New York State yesterday terrorized a Spring Valley Family over an error in addresses. Spring Valley is just 22 miles North of Manhattan and raids conducted by the Spring Valley Police with help from Drug Enforcement Agents targeted citizens in Spring Valley, Mount Vernon, the Bronx, along with coordinated raids in northern New Jersey and the Albany area and parts of Pennsylvania. The large sting amounted to the arrests of 23 people and involved more than 200 police officers and about 13 different government agencies.
Para-Military Raids like this happen 100-150 times per DAY in the US
But it was an innocent family that found themselves waking up to a nightmare. David McKay along with his wife, his brother in law and his 13 year old daughter were sleeping at 5:30am yesterday morning when they heard banging on the door of their townhouse. When they went to open the door, around 10 officers shoved their way into the home with their guns drawn and screaming “Where’s Michael, Where’s Michael”. Groggy from sleep, McKay tried to explain that there was no one named Michael in the house, that is when they pulled Mr. Mckay outside in the freezing cold, where he was only wearing underwear. The weather was 25 degrees yesterday morning with a windchill of 18 degrees.
According to McKay, they “manhandled” his wife and pointed a gun at the head of their 13 year-old daughter. The officers also threatened to shoot the family’s poodle if they didn’t cooporate, and forced the entire houshold to wait outside in front of curious neighbors in their sleeping clothes while they secured the house. Hours later, David Mckay had to take his terrified daughter for treatment to a local hospital after she suffered an asthma attack and fainted during the ordeal.
From the hospital, Mckay said that the whole thing was terrifying and humiliating beyond belief. He told the New York Journal News that they wouldn’t even tell him why they were in his house. The large marijuana sting operation realized their mistake, and the police prepared to leave Mr. Mckays home, and the bewildered family asked them again why they were in thier house and the only answer they got from one officers is “’You’ll read about it in the paper tomorrow.’
A short time later he noticed the police a few houses down on the same side of his street, presumably at the correct address this time. David McKay said he recognized some of teh Spring Valley officers from his work in the community. He has worked for the local sewer department for more than 13 years, he is a foster parent and very involved with community activities. For their part, the Spring Valley police so far have declined to address McKay’s accusations, and they are referring all questions about the raid to the DEA.
