Baltimore resident Venus Green won a $95,000 settlement from the City of Baltimore as the result of a 2009 incident where a police officer pushed her, insulted and then handcuffed her after barging into her home without a warrant. As the officer went to illegally search her basement, Green locked the door behind him.
"I've never been arrested, I paid my taxes, owned my home, my husband died 34 years ago. [i] raised my son and I have been brutally abused. I feel like the police department needs to go back to school."
Too bad this lady didn't live in Indiana and own a gun.
Dear Zimmerman Jr.
If she had a gun she would be dead, killed after a fusillade of shots fired by officers defending one of their own from senile old lady and suspect in a murder who tried to shoot it out with the cops.
Yeah, using a gun against a cop or a SWAT team would be just brilliant.
Good for her. I'm surprised that she wasn't shot after locking him in though. But I wish she had gone to trial. With a Baltimore jury, she would have gotten a heck of a lot more than $90,000.

I agree in my heart but then when you are 90 it isn't the best idea to wait for a jury trial and the subsequent appeals.
I just hope that granny has enough time on the clock to spend all of it.
