Just seems like a story of a person’s house being raided and a physical assault taking place would appear outside of a first person account. I’m not saying the story isn’t true, just that I can find no verification of it being so. Isn’t this how conspiracy theories start?
I mean, some of the shit that has since been verified about what the CIA has gotten up to would sound like unhinged conspiracy theory at a glance. Like MKUltra. That doesn’t mean we should automatically believe every claim, but a story sounding odd in the same world with those kind of organizations is not reason alone to dismiss it.
Either way, it’s a good opportunity to remind people to take care in opsec and don’t assume the state will side with you on flimsy notions of liberal “democracy” rights if you’re opposing the dominant narrative.
