A 90 year old grandmother won a $95,000 lawsuit after having her shoulder separated by police.
In July of 2009, three police officers entered Venus Green’s home to investigate the shooting of her grandson, Tallie, who said he was shot at a convenience store. The police, however, insisted that the shooter was either Tallie or Green.
‘Police kept questioning him. They wouldn’t let the ambulance attendant treat him,” Green said.
‘So, I got up and said, ‘Sir, would you please let the attendants treat him? He’s in pain,’ Green said.
Green said the officer said to her, ‘Oh, you did it, come on, let’s go inside. I’ll prove where that blood is. You did it.’
Police wanted to go the basement, where Tallie lived, but Green refused on the basis that the police did not have a warrant.
‘I said, ‘No, you don’t have a warrant. You don’t go down in my house like that. He wasn’t shot in here.’ Green said the officer replied, ‘I’m going to find that gun. I’m going to prove that you did it.’
‘He dragged me, threw me across the chair, put handcuffs on me and just started calling me the ‘b’ name. He ridiculed me,’ Green said.
‘This was my private home, and if I latched it, that was my prerogative because he had no search warrant to go in my basement. So, I had to right to latch it.’
‘I feel like the Police Department needs to go back to school,’ Green said.
Attorneys for police say they settled because they thought they’d have a hard time in front of a jury.

I AS A NATURAL BORN AMERICAN AM NOT GOING TO ACCEPT AMERICAS CRIMINALS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY AND ALL GOOD AMERICANS INTO THE GROUND. AMERICA SHOULD KEEP ALL COLORS OF CRIMINALS AWAY FROM ME FOREVER WHETHER THEY HAVE A BADGE OR NOT. I HAVE ASKED FOR A INVESTIGATION OF CRIMES AGAINST ME AND OTHERS AND AMERICAS TOP COPS DO NOT CARE. THIS MEANS THAT THE LAW DOESN’T MATTER TO THEM AND THEY ARE GOING TO DO WHATEVER THEY FELL THEY CAN WHENEVER AN WHERE EVER. SO I LIKE ANY VICTIM HAVE GOT TO DEFEND MYSELF. IF I GET A HONEST INVESTIGATION I WILL TRUST AMERICA AGAIN BUT FOR NOW THE GOVERNMENT AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ARE IGNORING THE TRUTH AND RIGHT OF JUSTICE FOR ALL IN AMERICA. ITS TIME TO LIVE LIKE SHADRACK MESHACK AN ABENDIGO AND DIE LIKE JESUS!!!!! DOUGLAS STEWARD IN WASHINGTON DC FOR TRUTH AN JUSTICE FOR ALL NOT JUST SOME!!!!
That is so sad. They are suppose to protect and serve . How do these police sleep at night.
That’s the law! ” He who seeks E quity must do so with clean hands!” No one is above the laws and justice must be seen to be Equal for All!! (Giustizia, Pace e Libertà!!)
