How closely have you been following this story? The local politicians and police had promised not to assist the feds... Lt. Bill Schwartz, head of media relations for the Miami Police Department, was mobbed by protesters outside the house and hit in the head with a bottle of water after it was revealed that the federal agents had been accompanied by a high-ranking Miami Police official during the raid. The Miami Police had promised the Cuban exile community that the department would not assist in any raid, and Schwartz explained that the official was only there to make sure Miami Police on guard duty understood who the raiders were and not to interfere with them. Schwartz had to be rescued from the crowd by helmeted officers and taken from the scene in a police car. He was not seriously hurt. salon.com
