I got the boys ready for school and we were walking out to the car when a large man, armed and wearing body armor, approached me. He was a US Marshall and his task force was trying to serve a warrant for one of my neighbors. There were a couple other officers trying to get …

I meant to share this the other night but I just didn’t get a chance. I’m pretty sure this was a drug bust on a known drug house. I can’t say that for certain because I didn’t talk to the police parked right behind my house, blocking off the alley. The house in question …
