Chicago, IL — In only a matter of months, the city of Chicago is now facing its fifth lawsuit for raiding the homes of innocent people — allegedly by mistake. TFTP has reported on several of these lawsuits in which cops raided a four-year-old’s birthday party and held other children at gunpoint. In the most recent lawsuit stemming from violent police negligence, an innocent family was terrorized, a small child handcuffed, and police used explosives to literally blow holes in their home to search it.

On March 15, Alberta Wilson says Chicago police woke her up, along with her four children as cops forced their way into her home. It was below freezing outside with ice on the ground and despite this fact, the entire family was forced from the home and made to stand in the freezing rain.

Thinking he was a threat, the cops even handcuffed Wilson’s 8-year-old son Royal, who was also forced to stand in the freezing cold.

“They are afraid to go to the washroom, they are afraid to sleep by themselves, they are very nervous and jump,” Wilson said of her children after the raid.

According to ABC 7, “Wilson and her family were awakened by police at 6 a.m. on March 15, executing a search warrant with information that said an assault rifle that may have belonged to one of Wilson’s older sons was in the home. Police ordered the mother and her family outside. She said they pointed assault weapons at all of them, including her three younger children who are 6, 8 and 9 years old. The adults were handcuffed, and so was Royal, who remained that way in the freezing rain while Wilson begged officers to release him.”

“He was crying and complaining the handcuffs were too tight, he felt like he was about to fall, I had to reassure him God was not going to let anything happen to us,” she said.

Despite claiming there was a weapon in the home, no weapon was found. Also, despite claiming Wilson’s oldest son was in possession of said weapon, no arrests were made. Everyone was innocent and the cops destroyed their home and terrorized the family anyway.

As the family sat outside in handcuffs in the freezing rain, police ransacked their home, tearing mattresses apart, and even using explosive devices to blow holes in their ceiling to look for a non-existent assault rifle.

Not until after a sergeant arrived on scene did any of the cops worry about removing the handcuffs from the tiny child.

“Even after they released him out the handcuffs, they showed no remorse. He’s a baby. Where’s your leadership? ‘Sorry young man. We sorry for placing you in handcuffs, are you ok?’ None of that was shown,” Wilson said.

After cops destroyed the family’s home, they simply left it like it was and didn’t even give them the courtesy of an apology.
