US: Swat Team Attacks 11 year old in Tree House

HENRY COUNTY, GA — A group of children building a tree fort in a wooded area near their home were accosted by foul-mouthed, gun-wielding police officers who treated them “as if they were robbing a store.”

Omari Grant, 11, and several of his friends were off playing together in a wooded area near their subdivision.  On that day earlier this March, the boys decided to build a tree fort in the woods out of some branches and sticks.

A busybody neighbor witnessed the boys removing tree limbs and promptly called 9-1-1 for a police response.

Several officers from the Henry County Police Department arrived, and one came running with his gun already drawn, the children said according to WSB-TV.

The boys were allegedly proned out on the ground and cussed at by armed agents of the government.

“He was crying,” said his mother, Janice Baptiste, to WSB-TV.  “All he could get out at the time was, ‘Mom, he had a gun in my face.’”
