Ruby Johnson, 77, is afraid to be alone in the house where she’s lived for 40 years because of Denver police.

Denver police officers dressed in military-style SWAT gear on Jan. 4 descended on Johnson’s Montbello home to serve a search warrant. Johnson, in her bathrobe, opened her door when an officer on a bullhorn told anyone inside to come out. Officers carrying rifles stood on her lawn next to an armored tactical vehicle.

Looking at the pic -- bars on the windows, bars on the doors -- I reckon Mrs. Johnson ought to think about moving, even though it would be a trying experience.

Somewhere else.

Once she sues the Denver police she should be able to afford something in a better neighborhood.
