On May 25, officers with the Crowley Police Department busted through the front door as a family was sitting down for Sunday dinner.
Footage from an officers body cam was eventually leaked to the press, showing the homes owners, well-known attorneys J. Clay LeJeune and his wife Mitzi Mayeaux, engaged in a dispute with the officers. It quickly turned ugly, with LeJeune receiving the business end of one officers Tazer. Both were arrested and later indicted by an Acadia Parish grand jury on charges of public intimidation, retaliation and resisting an officer with force of violence.

This is one of the red-flags I have been waiting for..... when the authorities start attacking the attorneys.
We have months, maybe weeks, left.
What state is this in? Texas? Some other state? I can find no mention of the state even on the link.
Bkmrk.
I’d guess Louisiana, based on “Acadia Parish” being the legal venue mentioned. As far as I know, all states except Louisiana divide their land into counties and territories.
I am really coming around to the view that any police officer involved in an arrest that does not result in a conviction should be suspended without pay for a week. Basically if you impose costs on a member of the public when no provable crime was committed you should have a greater cost imposed on you.
Serious financial costs would lead to more circumspect behavior by the police who seemingly use arrest as punishment because they don’t like someone.
I'm guessing Louisiana, given the ethnicity of the surnames alone.
Just looked at the website and, sure enough, references to Louisiana abound.
Louisiana, I think. Crowley Parish, i.e. county.
This is Louisiana. Crowley is where Edwin Edwards is from!!
Louisians ... on the Gulf coast east of Texas
All of Louisiana is east of Texas!..................
What was the imminent danger that led to a forcible entry by armed police into this family’s home?
Lucky they did not have pets or they would have been slaughtered in front of the family
Chilling.
I have not followed this story, but FYI, the Independent magazine out of nearby Lafayette, La. is a very very LIBERAL magazine (Obamacare is great nonsense). Just saying.
Crowley Parish, i.e. county.
*******
Crowley, LA is in Acadia Parish on IH-10 some 50+ miles east of the LA/TX border.
An earlier story says this all started when a neighbor heard yelling coming from their backyard and called 911.
Stupid neighbors have caused a lot of people a lot of trouble.
public intimidation?
First, they came for the lawyers.......................good start...............
One more, Alaska. They use Borough as a county-equivalent.
Did any of the charges stem from other than incidents that occurred during the arrest?
“Public Intimdation”?
What a bunch of gutless cowards these storm troopers are.
