Add in the standard "Cuz Florida" rules and mix it with a bit of "DaFuq America?"

About 10 officers with guns drawn showed up to her Tallahassee home around 8:30 a.m., Jones said. A video taken from a camera in her house, which she posted on social media, showed an officer pointing a gun up a stairwell as Jones told him her two children were upstairs. Jones said that the officer was pointing his gun at her 2-year-old daughter, 11-year-old son and her husband, who she said were in the stairwell, although the video doesn't make that clear.

The good news is no guns were pointed at anyone according to the authorities......
 
And the reason for this raid by ten armed police:
------------------------
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement executed a search warrant Monday morning at the home of data scientist Rebekah Jones, who was fired by the state Department of Health in May. The agency is investigating whether Jones accessed a state government messaging system without authorization to urge employees to speak out about coronavirus deaths, according to an affidavit by an agent working on the case.
--------------------------

What an absolute waste of state money and police resources-in order to pursue a political vendetta and protect a coverup. USA is rapidly becoming a third world also-ran under Trump and his followers (governor of FL).

"Speak out about coronavirus deaths" ?

Based on the article, she just sounds nuts in general. Not sure who would think this is a good idea.

You might want to do some more research into this "data scientist" and why police raided her home.

Care to explain what this "research" you claim to have done, actually showed?

I read the linked article (and the one below). Neither seems to justify the police wielding firearms.

Armed police raid home of Florida scientist fired over Covid-19 data

Rebekah Jones claims Governor Ron DeSantis, with whom she has clashed repeatedly since her dismissal in May, was involved
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com
 
I had no idea they took internet security so seriously in Florida.
It will be interesting to see who gets fired over this particular clusterfuck.
 
Whole story is strange, odd that there is a police raid to see if someone sent basically an “email” (quotes @brandonbull ) change the damn password of the system dummies. Why raid a house because of it and what was the purpose of the raid the system was already accessed. Even if she did send this email they some state alert system what were the damages and what should the punishment be?
I mean if I were fired from a job and still had email access is it my liability if I send out a “BABA BOOEY! BABA BOOEY! HOWARD STERNS PENIS!!!!!” to everyone in my directory. Did I harm anyone, regardless if I am employed or not the state controls the IT policy, I still had access.
Why armed police in such a large number?

Now on to the scientist in a cnn story she claimed the police confiscated a usb drive that had evidence the states dashboard was messed with. Why keep that secret? Why is it still being stored we are months into Covid.
Why no copy of the drive, she’s a fucking data scientist...
What the hell was she doing while the police waited for her in that 20 minute period?
 
Based on her appearance on Cuomo last night, she now believes that she wasn’t the actual target of the police raid—she believes they are after some of her sources (leakers still employed by DHHS) as DeSantis has been purging anyone critical of his Administration. I guess she’s saying they took her phone/computers to see who else she was in contact with.

She maintains she never accessed the state emergency broadcast system—but perhaps one of her sources did??
 
This is pure intimidation. DeSantis cut back testing and played with numbers leading up to the election. Trying to get away with there is no problem here folks. He may be afraid of being held liable by a new administration in Washington. If some of these people do not end up in jail this country is finished.

I don't know all the details - but improper access and putting misinformation on state government emergency messaging system is a bit of a BIG no-no, you would think?

But anyhow, the person here isn't black, so we don't have to talk about this from an excessive police force perspective - only when it peddles your typical racist narrative do we need to mention that.

Yeah sorry, but the women looks like a typical psycho moron. You know, the type that aren't aware that IP addresses can be traced? Also the type that think posting explicit pictures of your ex-online is a good idea?

Perhaps authorities can lie about that - but if true then it stands to reason this person is an idiot.
