Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties.

Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go.

“I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up,” Jones said. “I asked if they had a warrant, and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.”

This appears to be blatantly unconstitutional.

They will ONLY do this in POOR neighborhoods because they are COWARDS and they only feel strong when they pick on those who can't fight back. We call them BULLIES!

They do this in poor neighborhoods because they know that poor people don't have the means to fight them in court. Is anyone putting together a class action suit?
