A Brooklyn family has been making some serious allegations against the New York City Police Department lately. Based on reports from the New York Post, the Santiago family were disturbed by “six or seven” officers in their Bushwick apartment for a surprise raid. Lucia Santiago was precisely taking a nap when she woke up and noted the officers. She recalls: “When I opened my eyes I saw . . . six or seven police [officers] in my room. They told me, ‘Get out of the bed.” Shortly thereafter, the officers placed Lucia, her son, and grandson in cuffs as they raided the home. The raid itself was fuelled by a tip which proclaimed that one of Lucia’s grandson was involved in a gun sale. As such, the officers kept requesting to know where “the guns and drugs” were.
