The ATF raid (1971) on Ken Bellew’s home was over hand grenades. Only inert ones were found and Bellew suffered brain damage from a head wound inflicted by gunfire. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Ballew_raid

Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) coined the term “jackbooted thugs” to describe the ATF actions in the Ken Bellew raid when his committee investigated the case.

I remember for years there was a popular bumper sticker;

KEN BALLEW COULD BE YOU!

Basically warning of raids on YOUR home.
