| Family Caught In SWAT Anti-Shoplifting Raid |
| 2007-05-09 |
| Georgette Prince was making a quick run to the store last Thursday morning for orange soda and lottery tickets -- a venture that should have been an uneventful five-minute trip but became a terrifying 20-minute ordeal. The unsuspecting Prince was caught in the storm of a SWAT team raid that had her in fear for her life. "I thought I was going to be shot. I thought I was going to die," Prince recalled over the weekend as she sat in the living room of her Grace Avenue home. She said she was just stepping out the front door of Mr. Pantry, a Copley Road convenience store, when her world became a frantic, frightening blur of guns, shouts and shoves of helmeted, armored men with guns. "I didn't know what was going on," Prince said. |

| #2 Militarized police have become a replacement for good old fashioned police work. The stormtropper crap has got to stop. What happend to having someone plainclothes catch the guy ion a smoke break? Not everything needs military arms and tactics. Stupid! |
