The released footage reveals the intensity of the raid, with officers loudly announcing a search warrant and deploying a flash-bang grenade, into the window.
A woman inside the home, presumably the toddler’s mother, emerges with her hands up, expressing concern that her baby is inside on a ventilator.
According to family members, the flash-bang grenade injured the baby, who was awaiting surgery for a heart defect.
Contrary to police statements that the baby was not exposed to chemical agents, the family insists that the grenade caused burns to the toddler’s lungs.
Additional police bodycam footage shows officers handcuffing the child’s mother on the front lawn, raising questions about the handling of the situation.
Delay of Medical Treatment
Courtney Price alleges that the police did not provide timely care for her baby and prevented her from reaching him for 40 minutes while she was handcuffed. The released video suggests a significant delay before she was allowed to attend to her injured child.
