the cops are caught doing on their own  cameras  through the lens of chicago police body  cameras you are getting a glimpse inside  a police raid  at the wrong apartment number 10 1969  the black panther raid  daryl gates was an inspector at the los  angeles police department  he hand-picked the elite team of police  specialists who were trained in military  tactics to utilize them in emergency  situations like riots active shooters  bank robberies and hostage situations  the chief of that era william parker and  other lapd officers didn't buy the idea  they knew that involving civilian police  officers to engage in military tactics  can be dangerous  but after parker's death the new chief  thomas redden gates  got convinced and gave gates permission  to raid  gate's first encounter with his new swat  team came after a fight between police  and armed militants at a black panther  holdout  that night thousands of rounds of  gunfire were exchanged between lapd and  the black panthers but none of the  criminals could be killed  lapd and its swat team failed miserably  the idea was later considered a total  flop  number nine 1972 dirk dickinson  in 1972 the federal

was being invaded  and ran federal agent lloyd clifton  thought that dickinson shot his  colleague and is fleeing so he  unintentionally shot  dickinson square in the back as he ran  dickinson died on the spot  clifton was quickly cleared of any crime  by the justice department but humboldt  county district attorney william  fergario got clinton indicted for  second-degree murder  nixon attorney general richard  kleindeist personally had to take  matters into his own hands to defend  clifton as he was known for representing  cops in police abuse cases  the charges were therefore moved to  federal court and then dismissed after a  while  no drugs were found in the raid number 8  1973 herbert and evelyn giglato  this was the time when the anti-drug  fervor was at its peak  so one night a clueless couple were  sleeping when federal agents broke into  their home  woke them screamed and cursed at them  and held guns to their heads  richard nixon at that time had set up  dozens of new federal strike forces to  control the  drugs problem but the team had invaded  the wrong home  worse they had no warrant to show the  glotto raid received national news  coverage and inspired investigations by  the new york times and associated press  both of which found that dozens of  innocent people are harassed in spite of  real criminals across the country  the officers were accused on federal  charges congress held hearings  ridiculed the officers and told them the  consequences of their anti-drug fervor  that year the policies of raid were  changed and the officers were strictly  banned to raid without warrants  number seven 1983 catherine bower  in 1983 black helicopters hovered over  fields while the campaign against  marijuana was full  on u.s postal worker

but the camp warriors hopped out of  their trucks one of them screamed at  catherine to get moving  she replied that she was standing on her  own property bauer later said the deputy  sheriff charged her put a rifle to her  head and told her she was an [ __ ]  he threatened her that if he heard  another shot he'd open up on her home  bauer said that after that helicopters  often bust her property  her son was terrified he said mommy are  they going to shoot me  and are they going to shoot you he said  after one incident  bauer said he cried and laid down on the  ground covering his head  repeatedly asking me to take him away  from here where i can't hear them  the worst raid of all time still has yet  to come  where a small innocent boy was killed  mistakenly  number 6 1986 operation caribbean cruise  in february 1986 while doing operation  caribbean cruise  police mistakenly raided a retired  lieutenant with the washington d.c metro  police department  along with a career foreign

ended instantly with marijuana with one  puff of marijuana  [Applause]  well in 1996 voters in california voted  to legalize medical marijuana  but the clinton administration  maintained that because the drug was  still  illegal for medicinal purposes under  federal law the federal government could  shut them down  and so it did one raid was on the  marijuana grow run by todd mccormick and  peter mcwilliams  it was a large operation but it was  legal under state law and it was likely  targeted because mc williams was also a  prominent medical marijuana advocate  he personally used the drug to treat the  symptoms of aids and his nausea during  his chemotherapy treatment for  non-hodgkin's lymphoma due to hiv  infection a federal judge later ruled  that mcwilliams would not be allowed to  argue at his trial that his marijuana  grow was legal under state law  or that medical marijuana was keeping  him alive part of his bail agreement was  that he could not smoke  pot so mcwilliams abstained he was found  dead in his bathtub on june 14  2000. he had vomited from nausea then  aspirated on his vomit  federal prosecutors called his death  unfortunate  number three 2000 alberto

officers stormed an apartment  building in harlem on a no knock warrant  again on a false tip that a convicted  felon was dealing drugs and guns from  the sixth floor  but there was no felon the only resident  in the building was alberta sproul  a 57 year old city employee before  breaking in the raid team set off a  grenade  the boom shocked sprule and she fell  once police realized their mistake the  officer tried to help spruul but she  went  limp and slipped into cardiac arrest she  died two hours later  later the nypd found that the alleged  drug dealer was already arrested and was  still in police custody  the officers who conducted the raid had  done no investigation and killed an  innocent woman  by 2006 new yorkers filed more than a  thousand complaints about botched raids  a 50 percent increase over 2002  and number one 2006 catherine johnston  in november 2006 members of an atlanta  police narcotics team got a tip from an  informant about an alleged drug stash  the tip was
