In the blink of an eye, a peaceful day of yardwork for Penny McCarthy turned into a nightmare. She was on her driveway in Phoenix, Arizona, in a sleeveless shirt, shorts, and slippers, when a team of United States Marshals pulled up in unmarked vehicles and aimed firearms at her. Pennyâ€â€who is a 67-year-old grandmotherâ€â€was clearly at their mercy. And yet, the officers threatened to “hit†her, frisked her, placed her in handcuffs and ankle shackles, and drove her away from home. The officers did not so much as check Penny’s driver’s license or run any other basic checks on her identity before violently arresting her. The whole time, Penny calmly but persistently insisted that there must be a mistake. The officers claimed that she was Carole Rozak, for whom they had an arrest warrant. But Penny was not Rozak, and Penny had no connection to Rozak. The officers had made a huge, inexcusable error.

She was kidnaped. And put inside an unmarked car. By force. ÂÂ
Thanks for your show….
I hope and pray that one day she'll be able to feel safe again.
Those cops were acting like an old lady was some dangerous terrorist. Why did they have to make her turn around? As if they thought she was going to kill them all if they dropped their guard. Did they think she was an elderly female John Wick?
Isn't this EXACTLY what Arizona voted for? Trump tried to coup the government in 2020, failed, so he lead an insurrection to try and force Mike Pence to go along with his and Eastman's crackpot conspiracy. Trump accused immigrants of "poisoning the blood of the nation", a HITLER QUOTE, he made up storied about immigrants eating people's pets, and THESE PEOPLE VOTED FOR HIM. Sounds like they're getting EXACTLY what they want, lawlessness forced down their throats at the end of a fed with a rifle.
Probation and parole departments are generally staffed by alcoholic good ol boys with h.s. diplomas or GEDs, or cookie cutter online degrees like criminal justice. Smokeless tobacco refugees from deer stands, especially in states like Georgia
All comments with 3 emojis at the end are bots
Pure incompetence paid by taxes
They always crave that ID like it’s their new version of donuts, but now suddenly they have no interest in ID. They don’t care.
Over aggressive tattooed halfwits with guns and badges. It would have been obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that she was no master criminal. These people should not be police.
That cop is unprofessional and scared of an old lady. Why do we put up with this level of incompetence at our expense, day in and day out.
Pretty bad when the US Marshall’s look more stupid than the cops 4:50
Criminals with badges are so corrupt in the usa, if you wanted to you could do a story like this several times every day
The Gestapo of USA.
They could easily print her and determine its not her
Excellent report ðŸ‘Â
Oh, these guys are completely fired, and they will lose their qualified immunity for sure and how evil can these officers be so afraid of this little old lady
Institute for Justice about to get another big W for this one.
Another example of gooberment WASTE, FRAUD, and ABUSE.
Imagine if cops had brain cells and they actually worked …
blue line gangsters
Thank you for covering this
We will discuss it later????😢
The rifle doesn’t have a mag in it
this was bad
They are some real dumb Marshalls
Had a kidnapping done to her for someone else’s warrant, with a random decades old parole violation, which is still way overboard even if it was the right woman. Yet the Marshall rolls up and is like “you know who we are!!â€Â
Surprise surprise. Phoenix
Sickening
Scared cop wussies
"There's nothing Penny could've done to prevent this"
That's a scary fucking statement to hear coming from an attorney….
Whoa. 2m
And there's still stupid people that believe cops are good people.
I saw this its unbelievable what they did to her .
Complete incompetence and zero critical thinking skills shown by the cops 😂
Glad to see she is suing! I saw your coverage on this recently, and it is more than appropriate!
As she shold 😮
This is why I refer to the police as an occupying army. This is how they interact with the public. They do whatever they want and if there’s any accountability, which there rarely is, it comes years down the road. And you can forget about criminal charges.
On Granny! C'mon .
