An Innocent Victim of No-knock Warrants and the War on Drugs Tracy is yet another innocent victim of no-knock warrants and the so-called war on drugs. Please read his story below and take a look at the limited press coverage of the incident. Everyone in America needs to hear about this and we need your help to keep Tracy's story alive. 5/13/200 - Update Tracy is seriously suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD. Arkansas does not provide medical coverage to people under 65 unless they are considered permanently disabled or pregnant, therefore Tracy has no medical coverage. Since January 7, 2008, Tracy has accumulated well over 75,000 in medical bills due to the shooting. Unfortunately, he is not able to get the appropriate psychiatric medical care he needs now because he has no insurance and no ability to pay. Tracy Ingle was asleep in his house when armed police using a no-knock warrant burst in. Unsure about what was happening, he reached for a non-functioning pistol, but began to drop it as soon as he realized who they were. The gesture was too late -- officers shot him 5 times. Mercifully, he survived, but despite not finding any drugs in his house, Tracy is being charged with two felony counts of Aggravated Assault, drug paraphernalia and running a drug premises. He is in very poor physical shape and obviously not doing well psychologically, due to the incident. Many people in his town and even family find it easier to believe the police would not make such a big mistake. Of course Tracy's neighbour -- who saw the whole thing -- believes him, but the police have intimidated him to near silence. Everyone who speaks to his neighbours privately hears his story, but after the police "questioned" him for 4 hours and "advised" him not to get involved, he has refused to testify or go on the record. He and his family are trying to get a lawyer to fight this injustice but do not have the necessary funds, yet. Tracy's situation is current at rock bottom. He has not received the care he needs, he cannot work, he cannot drive, and is he suffering from PTSD ever since the incident. He does not know who he can trust and lives in fear of the local police. Tracy needs help in paying his hospital bills, medical expenses (such as continued care), medications, and counselling and transportation expenses.
