SWAT team ambushes innocent man as he works on tractor in his driveway
“I was minding my own business, you know, and they came in for the kill.”
COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA — A man says that while he was working on his tractor in his driveway, a van pulled up and a dozen men with rifles piled out and assaulted him. As they bashed his head in, breaking bones in his face, he believed they were there to kill him. It was later determined that police had attacked a completely innocent man due to a false police report, drawing questions about why police acted so brutally against a man who did not resist and made no threats.

Ambush!
The violence befell upon John Hytrek one day in August 2012 while he was working on a tractor at his shop. Without warning, Mr. Hytrek heard a van screeching up to his shop. When he looked up, roughly 12 men were sprinting towards him with their rifles drawn.
“They ran for me with machine guns,” recalled Mr. Hytrek to KMTV. “And I looked at them, and I’m like, what!?”
Hytrek was completely blindsided and had no idea what was going on. The trespassers tackled him to the ground, driving his face into a piece of steel equipment. Hytrek then says he was struck in the head multiple times.
“Five times,” said Hytrek to the local news station. “I think it was boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.” He demonstrated the blows coming from multiple directions.
He was struck so hard that assailants actually shattered the lenses in his glasses.
“I was minding my own business, you know, and they came in for the kill,” Hytrek said.
It was evident at this point that the violent group was employed by the government. These well-armed, highly aggressive men were deputies from the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office.
Hytrek says he did nothing to resist. That did not stop him from becoming a bloody, mangled mess.
“They repeatedly were swinging to kill me, they repeatedly didn’t let up, I did not resist them, nothing,” Hytrek explained. “They could’ve came up to me and asked me what was going on, and they didn’t.”
Hytrek says that a police sniper was perched in the distance during the ambush.
The deputies shackled him and took him to jail. He was charged with assault and harassment; serious charges against a man who had done nothing wrong.
Innocent Misunderstanding?
Hytrek, 52, suffers from Parkinson’s Disease and was badly injured by the assault; so much so that he had to be hospitalized at least twice. He suffered a broken orbital bone in his face, a concussion, and multiple abrasions and bruises.
Police tried to justify their use of force against Hytrek because he was working with a hammer when they ambushed him. But even a deputy’s deposition stated that Hytrek never attempted to use it as a weapon, KMTV reported.
It took 3 months for the government to finally drop the bogus charges against Mr. Hytrek. A cell phone video allegedly backed up Hytrek’s account that he did not resist.
In fact, it was finally admitted that he did absolutely nothing wrong. He had been the victim of “swatting” — a nefarious tactic in which a person generates a false police report in hopes that the government will go after someone else. And in Police State USA, the government responses can be quite brutal.
It turned out that one of Hytrek’s relatives had retaliated against him for previously requesting that person leave his property. That person, who had previously made false police reports, told police that Hytrek had made “terroristic threats,” according to KMTV.
Hytrek is now filing a federal civil rights lawsuit against the brutal Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office.
It does not bode well when the government can’t perform a simple investigation without beating people up before they have acquired any facts whatsoever.

One reason this stuff keeps happening is the media being reluctant to step up to the plate of decency. They are comfortable. What is out strategy in the Middle East. The populace doesn’t know. But they know Miley and her naked exploits.
Ok bb, come defend this shit now.
You want me to be THANKFUL that these men are there to “protect” me?
The only thing this poor man needed protected from was the protectors.
Now what?
The funniest thing is that I am sitting here thinking of all the stupid things you say here and I know that someday you are going to say something in real life and your neighbor is going to “see something/say something” and just like in Salem, you are a witch and dead before you can ever defend yourself.
That would be karma in the highest form.
So, so, many are going to get what they deserve.
Keep on trusting them cops, I’m sure it will work out better for you than this poor, SICK, schmuck.
TE ,your ignorant slut, I never said I trusted cops.I said repeatedly they have a job to do and when they over step the bounds of their job they should be fired or go to jail or both.The man attacked will receive millions of dollars .I would gladly let the cops beat my ass for a couple million.
Stick to what you know TE ,cooking and having babies.
People who make knowingly false police reports should face severe penalties – the worse of the maximum punishment for what they are falsely accusing someone of, or an appropriate crime for what actually happens. Yet it often seems they get little or nothing.
And yeah, the swaterators* involved in this raid should be doing some hard time, along with losing their jobs and pensions. But of course that’s not how it works in FUSA these days.
*swaterator = SWAT operator, with “operator” being a massively overused term for certain special forces guys. A term that used to be cool and is now meaningless. Swaterator basically means cop with tactical gear and mall cop mentality.
bb,
so the tax payers that are fleeced to fund these paramilitary pigfuks will end up paying for the millions in settlement payments to the innocent victim, while the copfuks will continue to “work” and then collect a pension.
make teh copfuks individually responsible and liable for what they do and we’ll see a lot more peace officers and a lot few copfuks.
eat shit douchenozzle, you know you love giving “rusty trombones” to the resident copfuks.
I think he would have been treated kinder by the Gestapo.
Harry ,I agree with you .When cops do this they should be fired and put in jail.
Admin , would you let cops beat your ass for a couple million?I believe you would. I know I would but yet you call me an idiot when you would do the same as me.Now if you notice you are calling yourself an idiot.Go figure.
Admin , I am not a jerk but have to defend myself .You never defend me.Now I remember you can’t stand me anyway.You don’t give a flying Fuck about my life remember. Now whose the jerk?That’s ok not many people do.I can count them on one hand.Carry on.
bb, you loathsome fuck. Go away.
Let’s adopt the Swiss model …. EVERY citizen must have a gun.
Stucky , I am not a loathsome Fuck .I am a bored Fuck and you are way to serious for your own good .Clam down and eat your fruits and vegetables.Got to keep that blood pressure normal.
Might as well start with suckin dick for crack maybe you will get beat up and get promoted.
I’m trying to spread the word. Whenever cops lose and the taxpayer has to pay. The cops should be docked 10% of their paycheck to refund the taxpayers. Until they retire. Even docking their pensions if it’s not paid off. Presuming the cops didn’t get fired and or go to jail.
Let’s see how many cops want to pay 10% of their pay til the cows come home.
And to be safe. Strengthen any laws to protect cops who do NOT want to violate their oath and civil rights of the people they are supposed to be serving.
Lets see if we can get this law passed.
