With no warning one weekday morning, investigators entered an organic grocery with a search warrant and ordered the hemp-clad workers to put down their buckets of mashed coconut cream and to step away from the nuts.

Then, guns drawn, four officers fanned out across Rawesome Foods in Venice. Skirting past the arugula and peering under crates of zucchini, they found the raid's target inside a walk-in refrigerator: unmarked jugs of raw milk.

"This is about control and profit, not our health," said Aajonus Vonderplanitz, co-founder of Rawesome Foods. "How can we not have the freedom to choose what we eat?"

ARE WE IN FUCKING SOVIET RUSSIA???????? GUNS DRAWN IN A DAIRY FARM????? FOOD POLICE??? THIS IS BOLSHEVISM AT ITS BEST! TIME TO FIGHT BACK WITH BULLETS WHEN THIS SHIT HAPPENS!!!

[THEUSSLIBERTY67]

Now this is REAL terrorism at its finest!

because they know better than you what you want to put in your own body. They are pointing those guns around in case one of those notoriously violent well armed raw foods hippies pops up from behind the hummus to attack the milk police.

It's either let them rape you... or fight back and you die with overwhelming force used against you... unless we unite together in overwhelming numbers... and so far nobody is able to unite our divided pusillanimous asses. Divided we fall... It's happening all over again... Only this time... they have some pretty nasty weapons... Genocidal weapons.

The left liberal hippies that shop at co-ops would be the last people to be armed and dangerous. Why do the police have guns drawn? Maybe they are hoping someone will have a cell phone in hand so they can pretend they thought it was a gun and have an excuse to shoot. They know the corrupt legal system would never convict them because they have a badge.

are you piggy Petr, ie escaper from eastern europe? where this strange association of creepy police and russia coming from?

[dronex1000]

What are you waiting for, it's already happening. How did you think they got this footage?

[danthadon87]

Get the fuck out of the US. Their's more freedom in Latin America I recommend Lima Peru where I currently stay. No shortage of Americans here for good reason.

It's all in the name of 'SAFETY'. The currently educated crop of US 'Subjects', are demanding SAFETY...from Everything. In so doing they are quickly becoming Restricted into Slavery. All by being led to believe that only Big Government is qualified to Protect them...from Everything. A Karma cycle of reality will finally occur. Too bad it will be too late. History has almost boringly demonstrated definite 'Finality' that awakens the complacent. Cleansing of 'Naivete' is abrupt.... and Harsh.

wow just wow. perhaps they thought it was a meth lab? Seriously thinking people selling food are going to go down in a gun fight. Fucking fat fuck cops probly ate some of that food. If we just stop paying taxes this shit would end real quick.
