Cost of Medical Bills for Baby Hit by SWAT Grenade? Over $800,000. Countys Refusal to Pay? PricelessDaisy Luther Well, stellar group that they are, theyve refused to pay the over $800,000 in medical bills for the child that they permanently disfigured and nearly killed. Thats right. They arent paying the bills and are leaving the family to try and cover the costs for the toddlers care. Our militarized police forcesare claiming too many innocent victims, and they arent being held accountable. The familys attorneys, from theDavis Bozeman Law Firm in Decatur, Georgia, released a statement this morning: Ummmillegal? The Habersham County Attorney responded on behalf of the county Board of Commissioners with this vague explanation. Its important to remember a few things regarding this case. Its bad enough that it happened. But to cripple the family financially with nearly a million dollars in medical expenses on top of that? This isnt even about the shoddy police work, the bad intel, or the poor decision to throw a grenade (that was designed to be rolled) into a room full of children. Nor is it about the slimy sheriff of Habersham County, who, if you recall, defended the actions of his SWAT team. According to areport on RT, Sheriff Terrell told the AJC the raid was properly executed, but ended in a tragic result. He defended the use of the no-knock warrant and lack of investigative work, saying that it would have risked revealing that the officers were watching the house. (source) This is abouta complete lack of accountability. A refusal to take responsibility for a horrible mistake that crosses into criminal negligence, at the very least. What an absolutely repulsive group of individuals. They blew a hole through theface and chest cavity of a 19-month-old child, permanently disfigured him, put him through an unfathomable amount of agony with treatments and repeated surgeries, and now, the family, which was already struggling financially after losing their home in a fire, is stuck with the bill, which will continue to climb, since Bou Bou is looking at several more operations.
