Armed cops wrongly storm black war vets home while searching for felon who was already in prison
Couldn't get to DC I guess.
[Daly Mail, where America gets its news] Armed Florida cops wrongfully stormed a black war veteran's home while searching for a felon who was in fact in prison.
Naomi Simmons, a 27 year old who served in Afghanistan, told NBC Miami she was sitting at home on June 14 when she heard a banging on her seven-year-old daughter's bedroom window.
When she went outside to check what the commotion was 'there were two guns pointed at me,' she recounted.
'I said, why are you guys pointing guns?' she asked, noting that the Miami-Dade coppers did not identify themselves before she opened the door.
They then told her they were searching for a man named Marquise Wiley, who was wanted on felony gun charges. His ID listed his address as Simmons' home, she said.
But Simmons and her daughter had been living at the Miami Gardens home for more than a year, and had never met Wiley and did not know anything about him.
When police finally left her house, satisfied that Wiley was not hiding out there, Simmons said she sat back on her couch and was able to track down the suspect's whereabouts using just her phone.
She then found that Wiley was already in jug, dealing with two criminal cases in Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
'I was able to find it with no resources and a cellphone on my couch,' Simmons told NBC Miami, adding: 'He was at the prison before they even came to my door.'
