These dirtbags throw a flash grenade into this kids crib while executing a no knock raid, (scratch that lets call it what it is) violent home invasion and now they refuse to pay for the medical bills for the harm they caused directly. And politicians/people bemoan the lack of trust displayed by the community to LEO’s??? They shouldn’t be trusted, at least some people are finally catching on.
Get rid of the military hardware, outlaw no-knock raids, end drug war, mind your own business; solutions so simple a brain dead govt drone could understand.
County refuses to pay medical bills for toddler injured by flash bang during police raid (VIDEO)
The family of a toddler who was severely injured after a flash bang landed in his crib during the execution of a no-knock warrant in Atlanta is frustrated and disheartened that the county now refuses to help pay for the child’s medical bills.
“Everyone’s sleeping. There’s a loud bang and a bright light,” said the boy’s mother following the incident in May. “The cops threw that grenade in the door without looking first, and it landed right in the playpen and exploded on his pillow right in his face.”
Bounkham Phonesavah was just 19-months-old at the time and has since spent weeks in two separate hospitals recovering after initially being put into a medically-induced coma.
The boy has since come home, but now the medical bills are piling up – to the tune of $500,000 – and the boy’s parents are asking the county to help fit the bill, with no such luck.
The county issued a statement, saying: “The question before the board was whether it is legally permitted to pay these expenses. After consideration of this question following advice of counsel, the board of commissioners has concluded that it would be in violation of the law for it to do so.”
Muwali Davis, the family’s attorney, told reporters, “The family reaction is utter disappointment and shock.”
According to Davis, an investigation revealed that authorities used questionable information to obtain the warrant. An informant told authorities he had bought methamphetamine from Wanis Thometheva at the house. Thometheva was not home at the time of the raid, but was later arrested at a nearby house.
Authorities claim they had no way of knowing that a child was in the home at the time of the raid.
“There was no clothes, no toys, nothing to indicate that there was children present in the home. If there had been then we’d have done something different,” said Cornelia Police Chief Rick Darby right after the incident.
Apparently the Phonesavah family had just come to stay in the home after their house in Wisconsin burned down.
The family also has no medical insurance to help cover the costs.
Nonetheless, Darby said, “You’re trying to minimize anything that could go wrong and in this case the greatest thing went wrong. Is it going to make us be more careful in the next one? Yes ma’am, it is. It’s gonna make us double question.”
Davis said the family is not finished fighting.

@ Harry p
You picked the wrong case to highlight abuses by police. To wit:
—–A police confidential informant reported that he bought meth at the raided residence just hours before the raid, which triggered a “no knock” warrant because ……
—–The target of the raid LIVED at that residence and had been arrested previously on drug AND weapons charges. It was the weapons charge which triggered the “no knock” raid, not the drug charge.
You and I can argue all day long about this case, but your outrage is simply misplaced and legally unsupportable. The cops were justified in doing what they did. There are plenty of rock-solid cases you could have used to prove your point, and I can help if you wish. This case isn’t one of them.
I/Sin my 3 decades of of living around youse’ fukkin’ morons . I have found most of the tattoed mouth breathing fools cannot count to ten without first adding the adjective, fukkin’; i.e fukkin one …fukkin two .
I myslef have heard enough of the the nasal whine of the dickless yankee inbreds, crying for more …aaaggs with their r cream of nasty wheat …walking their the dddaaaaggs to take a shit on their neighbors lawn and looking though crowed parking lots for their frikkin’ bus-sized caaaass to take them to their 4 o’clock diners at the all you can eat buffet….or expounding on how their great Uncle Bawwwb who only loved taking pictures of little kiddies until he was arrested for indecent exposure down at the Five and Dime.Oh. Gaaawd , how Bawwb was misunderstood, youse. fukkin’ guys. just don’t know , I tell yaz..
As a teenager I worked at a gas station on I-75 when it was first opened to to stupid Yankee traffic coming south to sun the wrinkles out of their fat ,greasy asses and I could not enumerate the dim-witted snow bird imbeciles, if i tried who asked me for directions on how to get back on the interstate even though one could see the entrance ramp to I-75 from the service station parking lot. And, then there’s the fact that the south has very little gun control laws or liberal Oreo as opposed to the state of the Northern Yankee scum…case closed asswipe.
Inbred Shitstain , the funny thing is that when the Republicrats where though jamming their multicultural and diverse dick up the asses of an upsetting and ill-prepared southern culture they then turned their sight on the dickless doo-dads that dominated what passes for Northern culture even though we all know there never was such creature…just stupid inbred with stupid begetting more stupid.see the current POTUS for proof of that last statement .
And, BTW Dick Breath , let me know when you see a horde of Sunbirds evading your borders come October.
Sensetti says:
“Harry let sensetti give you a little something to think about. More people are killed every fucking day by incompetent nurses and Doctors by many multiples than rogue cops kill, hands fucking down.”
“I could make the case we should outlaw surgeons because they kill one hell of a lot more people than cops do.”
Ah, actually, factually and legally, you have no logical, rational case at all, Sensetti.
Intent (state of mind) has everything to do with murder versus killing/manslaughter.
While it is true that almost 100,000 people per year die due to nosocomial infection and unintended mistakes via doctors and nurses, very few patients die due to fits of rage or deliberate and intentional injury. First degree murder, second and third too. Do research.

The only thing you seem to have closed the case on is the fact that the bulb don’t burn too bright down in Dixie. See, when we have that sort of problem up here in the Pacific Northwest with you inbred hillbilly’s invading the place we just direct you booger eatin’ retards to the “southbound” on ramp of the freeway. I’ll bet you and Cletus and the boys just directed those nice yankees further south didn’t ya? Huh? Huh? Come on, you can tell ol’ IS the truth!
Since maf is hard, it probably never occurred to ya’ll that those yankees financed a considerable portion of your paychecks as well. How else could you afford that MD 20/20 when it came to romancin’ yer sisters on Saturday night?
When the snowbirds or sunbirds or whatever yer callin’ them this week head south this October, I’ll ask ’em all to stop in and give you a big ol’ greasy boomer hug just from me!

I suspect that anyone who adopts the ID Indentured Servant actually possess the personality of one who simply relishes the state going all rambo on his hiked bare buttocks while he bite and silently screams into his pillow.
But, then I wouldn’t expert any less than a card carrying statist clock punching cur, especially one who self identifies as a servant ,wherever he’s from.
