>Law enforcement officers were acting on a warrant that stated probable cause existed that drugs and drug paraphernalia would be found on Foreman’s property and that trafficking and kidnapping had taken place there, authorities have said. Those suspicions turned out to be unfounded, though, and the raid failed to turn up probative criminal evidence. No charges were ever filed.
>When cash seized during the raid was returned to Foreman, it appeared that hundreds of dollars were missing. A subsequent review by the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation determined that deputies had miscounted the amount seized during the raid itself.
It's disappointing that the AP doesn't even mention any of that, just a mention that some money was miscounted.
Why is there a guy in camouflage? I would assume he's in the military, but is that just normal for a US police raid, there's some uniform, some plain clothes, some inexplicable camouflage? (Not to mention some riot gear, some automatic rifles..!)
Yes, very much so. They don't even have to be on a raid, they can just be on patrol. After the Global War On Terror started, many police departments routinely cosplay as military.
