Quick Fact: Texas S.W.A.T. Team Stages Drug Raid on Community Garden and Finds...?

On August second, using information provided to them by an undercover officer and helicopter surveillance, local police, including a S.W.A.T. team, staged a raid on a community garden in Arlington, Texas looking for what they believed was a marijuana growing operation.  The officers moved the people they found tending their plants to the perimeter of the garden and handcuffed them before filling a truck with confiscated plants. Gardeners were then released and no arrests were made.

The City of Arlington stated that "No cultivated marijuana plants were located on the premises. Narcotics detectives and members of the tactical unit cleared the scene within 45 minutes."  

Gardeners re-entered the garden to find that every tomato plant had been uprooted and removed.
Sometimes you just have to laugh.
