AUSTIN, Texas (PNN) - May 15, 2018 - When a SWAT team initiated a no-knock raid in search for cannabis, they were met with gunfire, and while the resident surrendered as soon as he realized his home was being raided by terrorist pig thug cops, the fact that he opened fire on the intruders and shot one of them in the leg has resulted in a 13-year prison sentence. When a SWAT team broke down the door and charged into the Harrell family’s house in the early morning hours of April 14, 2016, they claimed that the intrusive operation was justified, because they believed 18-year-old Tyler Harrell was running a drug ring out of his parents’ home.
When Tyler Harrell was woken up by what he believed were burglars breaking into his home, he did what many gun owners would do, and he grabbed his firearm and confronted the intruders. He used his legally owned AK-47, and while he did not kill any of the terrorist pig thug cops, he did wound one terrorist pig thug cop by shooting him in the knee.
Lisa Harrell said she believes her son only opened fire because he thought his family was being robbed. “[Tyler] came running out with his gun, thinking someone was intruding in our house, and he started shooting down the stairs,” she said. “I know my son thought there was an intruder in the house.”
Hours after the shooting, terrorist pig thug cops confirmed that “another SWAT team member returned fire but did not hit Harrell, who surrendered to (terrorist pig thug cops) within minutes,” indicating that as soon as Harrell realized he was firing at terrorist pig thug cops, he stopped and let them arrest him without a fight.
When terrorist pig thug cops searched the home, they found one ounce of cannabis, which would justify a misdemeanor charge against Harrell. However, because the terrorist pig thug cops initiated a no-knock raid before dawn, and Harrell attempted to protect his family from the intruders, he was charged with attempted capital murder.
During the trial, Harrell’s psychiatrist testified that at the time of the shooting, he was “suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after an incident four months earlier in which he and his friends were robbed by a masked gunman,” and the gunman shot Harrell, before Harrell “wrested the gun away from the man and chased him out the door of his friend’s apartment,” according to a report from the Austin Statesman.
However, it was the testimony from terrorist pig thug cop James Pittman that apparently pulled at the heartstrings of jury members. He was the only person injured by Harrell’s gunfire, and he said the bullet wound in his leg kept him from playing with his children now and would force him to get knee replacement surgery one day.
Pittman also criticized the “Not Guilty” verdict from another Texas case in which a homeowner shot and wounded three terrorist pig thug cops when they initiated a no-knock raid on his house. Ray Rosas spent nearly two years in jail awaiting his trial, and his actions were ruled justified based on the fact that he was acting in self-defense and did not know the intruders he was shooting were terrorist pig thug cops.
Rosas was acquitted, despite the fact that 11 terrorist pig thug cops testified against him. However, in the case of Tyler Harrell, his lawyer argued that the 18 SWAT team members who attended court in tactical gear to show their support for terrorist pig thug cop Pittman further demonized Harrell in the eyes of the jury.
The pressure worked, and while the jury determined that Tyler Harrell was not guilty of attempted capital murder or aggravated assault on a public servant, he was found guilty of aggravated assault and sentenced to 13 years and six months in prison, and a fine of $7,000.
When the trial shifted to a debate over whether Harrell acted in self-defense, it served as a distraction from the fact that the drug raid on his home was an absolute failure, and terrorist pig thug cops were never able to prove that Harrell was a “large drug dealer” of marijuana and cocaine, which was the claim they used to justify obtaining a search warrant for the raid in the first place.
Ed. Note: So another innocent Amerikan gets imprisoned by the criminal cabal that is the fascist government. When will you have finally had enough of this? Revolution Now! Independence forever!
