Man Left Paralyzed After Police Filled Him with Bullet Holes for 8 Ounces of Weed
Found on Alternet on Tuesday, 14 July 2015
On April 16, as Betton played his XBOX, multiple armed men, dressed in militarized gear, busted down his door and swarmed his apartment. Upon seeing Betton, they began firing — and firing.
The agents found $970 in Betton’s pants. From his apartment, they seized 222 grams of pot, which is about 8 ounces.
State Law Enforcement Division’s investigation revealed that there was no evidence to support that Bretton ever fired a weapon.
Free to smoke in one state, a reason to be shot in another.
