- Nelda Price received something Wednesday that she's been waiting more than a year for, a handshake, and an apology from Fort Worth's top cop.
It came on the heels of a WFAA report that detailed how Price's home was the target of a no-knock drug raid fueled by bad intel.
The report explained how Price was seeking answers regarding how she and her elderly husband were believed to be engaged in crime, specifically narcotics.
"It took over a year for us to get to this point today, and we talked about how the city could do things better in terms of apologizing when they make mistakes," said Price's attorney Kay Van Wey.

He can keep his apology. My husband's life would be worth more than those two words.
No doubt. That's why she is still pursing her civil lawsuit.
Hey DS...there was no mistake...dirty lying cops have been destroying peoples homes and lives for years.
And they always just walk away with no consequences!
@@wish1012 you are so truly true
Husband dead and ......." I'm sorry" that won't bring her husband back!!!! TMH is keeping tabs.
Cute, an apology. How about some real consequences?
Exactly how about someone being held accountable. This is horrible
Similar thing happened to me by Monroe, LA Police Dept. coming to my house, the wrong house on 08-04-2017 btwn, 4:-4:30 am. Tried to verbally coerce a search of my house.
I was terrorized & disrespected by the police who did not offer an apology. Onlv a dismissiue attitude. Something not to be forgotten.
I believe she is also pursuing a civil lawsuit. Of course, that money will come from public coffers...
Nothing cute about.You’re trolling
Yea who gives af about an apology
It is beyond disgusting ...a year to apologize!! I do believe that kind of trauma to a sick elderly man definately led to his demise!!
A year AND a new chief. Apparently his predecessor wasn't willing to even acknowlege that his cops made a horrible mistake.
This situation breaks 💔 my heart! That poor lady!
@waterfall white imagine the horrors they were getting away with before cell phones.
Well this is a new police chief so that's probably why she got an apology
@@richardkempton1894 seriously? Imagine? how about you ask any black person in America who has had one of these run ins with the out of control, power mad, corrupt and dangerous police?!?!? You folks are so willfully blind and bigoted that you won't believe us until it slaps you across the face!
I wonder how the chief would handle a situation if someone broke into his home??? I bet he would shoot them. But he thinks its ok for his officers to do it to the citizens.
Agreed, that cop is lucky he did not get his head blown away from his spirit
@@chinesecream from his evil spirit
BLACK CITIZENS!!!!!
Sue them!!
She shouldn't trust that police chief any further than she can throw him.
👍🏾
Yet Police say there is no need for police reform🤔
Totally! I would recommend listening to Sunday’s CNN special reporting of a black journalist who has interviewed individuals who have experienced and witnessed the evils of racism in America! Last nights show (April 2, 2021), was heart wrenching! After listening to that broadcast, I’m a component for “Defunding The Police”! There is so much systematic racism and corruption in law enforcement, it will require a complete universal federal oversight and fumigation of every police station in America 🇺🇸! Cops MUST BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS OR BE WILLING TO FINANCIALLY PAY FOR THEIR WILLFUL MISTAKES! Racists and incompetent cops understand the power of losing their paycheck and pension!
@@m.w.3256 …. Defund the police? So who are you going to call if someone is trying to break into your home, the mailman? A social worker? Ghost Busters?
She needs to sue them 😠
She already is.
Exactly
Why are black people so PASSIVE??
I just don’t get it!!!!
Lady SUE them and that will make them get rid of the NO KNOCK WARRENTS much faster!!
@@iamenough6958 And the taxpayers will pay out. No consequences for those really at fault. GET RID OF QUALIFIED IMMUNITY. Make cops responsible for their own behaviour and have malpractice insurance. Imagine if Doctors had qualified immunity....any wrong procedures ..no reponsibility.
@@TheKira699Oh well🤷♂️. Taxpayers are fine with funding police departments who do no knock raids. Serves them right.
@@Matty272 Alas, the taxpayers don't get a say in that. The sooner that the police have to pay for their own screwup the sooner that bad cops will no longer be cops.
Sue them. Get what they owe you
Hey Arays Gilbert...she was sooo close to losing her life too...f*** that apology!
That sorry apology is NOT ENOUGH! Those Satanic police officers & all involved should be FIRED!!!!!
Why accept his apology. Won't bring her husband back.
💯💯💯
Apology is cool but a check or wire transfer would have been real nice.
She needs an attorney that will demand the necessary evidence that she needs to file her lawsuit against them. this attorney isn't doing it. they are looking to stonewall as long and strong as possible.
You might be right. They are trying to stall it out.
I agree, but those type of attorney's cost money.
She has an attorney and they have been stonewalling her as well! It will all come out in deposition, something the city and police department is trying so hard not to happen
"I'm sorry" Too little too late, what they did can never be taken back so sorry just never cuts it, jail time for those involved may help make sure it never happens again.
SHALAWAM(PEACE) TO YOU HEATHER BAKER*!!, "TRUTH"!!!!!!!
So now they are listening! What about compensation for pain and undue stress? More transparency, Everything is a covert operation and no one seems to have answers. Citizens deserve better from those that claim to protect and serve.
No, now they're trying to save face...sad
💪🏽☝️
What price can you put on her greif, missing the conversations, the companionship of the loving husband now he's not there an apology my heart goes out to her and her family.
I hope this isnt the end to this story. This woman deserves so much more than a forced apology. Monetary compensation is also a must. Bless her for being so strong and accepting even after all that was taken from her. I feel so sorry for her loss 🙏
No, she already filed a lawsuit over a year ago, what this is was a photo-op for the new chief of police he claims to be all about transparency even though he refuses to answer the simplest questions to the press or the family
Mrs. Price is so gracious. I don't know if I could be that forgiving.
What kind of police department doesn't investigate before you bust in someone's home? 1 day and you would have seen who was coming and going... This is a joke
It is about time! Someone needs to take responsibility for this mess. It hurts even to hear this story.
I am sick n tired of hearing sorry....No pay her, so she can live the rest of her life comfortable.
They're old people, geez, no need to play hard ball with them. Imagine being placed in handcuffs in your yard while neighbors are looking and you're a senior citizen with health problems? 😳 My anxiety would go through the roof.
And her husband died a couple of months later, smh. She was traumatized by the raid, her home destroyed, then lost her beloved husband. *Edited* it was 53 days later when he died. Smh
I know exactly how it happened. It was people who call police with bad information and causing harm and even death to INNOCENT people. The cops need to do their jobs and go after the people who keep prank calling them and giving them wrong information.
She is such a classy lady 🤗🤗🤗 I am ashamed to say, I don't think I would have handled the situation as she did! 🤔🙄
Well to play devil's advocate (a little) he is the NEW chief of police, all this happened before he took office, but he keeps saying the he wants an office thats transparent but yet refuses to answer any questions or release bodycam footage that is well within his authority to do
You shouldn't be expected to
Demand: Compensation, restoration, clean up services
Easing down once raid see's it's not a dangerous Drug den
Punishment for raid tip as if it was a swatting
So let’s get this straight. The Fort Worth police department and the DEA thought that some random house with an elderly couple was a drug house. So she should be suing the DEA too, right?
I agree 💯💯
After that serious blunder, I know the police hated they couldn't find any dirt on the couple to justify busting into their home.
And you know they terrorized them, surprised they didn’t plant anything.
A year for an apology?! Did anyone else see a problem with this?
Took a year for apology, keep it. It won't take the pain this lady is feeling. That is someone parents, grandparents, bother, sister. I just want to hug her. She seems so nice.
Blanket apology. Nothing behind it.
And after a year they still refuse to tell her what lead to the raid.
It's not his place to apologize, although it's a nice gesture. Here are the people who actually owe her an apology:
1. The officers who lied to get the warrant
2. the judge who rubber-stamped it
3. the officers who kicked her door in and handcuffed her and her husband
4. the officers who have subsequently worked to keep the bodycam footage away from her
5. the judge who ruled that she can't question city officials regarding this
Did I miss anybody?
I agree. Why haven't the affidavits filed by the police to justify the warrant been released so they can be examined. Why hasn't the Judge who approved the warrant been examined to see if he asked enough guestions. Why haven't the body cam recordings been released so you can see the officers treatment of the Prices and hear their comments as they search. That all needs to be made public and those people need to be held accountable.
Dude, you forgot that the same police officers who kicked down her front door refused to give her husband the medication that he needed from the bathroom vanity. I wonder if denying him that medication lead to the husband’s eventual death? Remember the police were protecting you on that night…😏
Sue sue sue everyone sue sue
I just don't understand why it took this long for an apology. They disrespected them. Her husband probably died from the stress. Sorry just doesn't cut it. She needs answers. She deserves answers.
Now give her money for pain and suffering...And formal written, public apology...No comment won't do
And to lose her husband after this unwarranted stress? Now she's a widow.. This is heartbreaking
Nelda Price my condolences for your loss of your husband. You deserve to treated better and given compensation for the trauma the Police and The DEA caused due to their errors. This should have been handled much sooner. The police system definitely needs reform.
She deserves sooo much more! Her husband died because of these fools incompetence! Everyone should be fired to include the judge!
Being that he wasnt with the department at the time. I'll commend this FIRST step in reconciliation. But a house cleaning policy needs to be implemented too.
New chief..atleast he had enough empathy to apologize...
Guess he'll be looking for a new job shortly. To display humanity is frowned upon.
That is true. At least he reviewed the case and apologized for something that predated him. Now I hope he escalates this to the city or whatever governing body for claims so this elderly widow can receive some financial recompense for the undue stress that eventually aided in her husband’s death. It’s the right and kind thing to do. Action behind the apology.
Now that's what has bothered me all these years, when you've done something you didn't mean to do, Why is it so hard to say, 'I'M SORRY'!
An APOLOGY plus FINANCIAL COMPENSATION is warranted!
Police need reform bad. You don't bust in on the elderly like that,so disrespectful. They wouldn't want someone to do that to their parents.
That was the most ungenuine apology I’ve ever heard.
Once the story comes out
Total incompetence.
These Evil Beast Are Wicked Beyond Anyone's Imagination. They Will REAP What They Have SOWED in The Great JUDGEMENT DAY.
Why do we have to wait soo long. Let the evil ones start reaping while they are alive. I think that would make the biggest impact.
@@blkqueen6201 , THE MOST HIGH is Already Doing it through CV19, and many more plagues to come upon them, total 250
He could apologize with a large check in his hand from her lawsuit.
Pay that lady for the damage they did to her. This is just sick. Anybody that agree to this kind of treatment have a serious problem.
If the DEA is involved, then the chief can't reveal anything they don't want him to. It would also explain why the warrant was issued so quickly, and with so little evidence. Overall, I'd say this boils down to a big government agency overriding local law enforcement. Now the local law is left holding the bag. I hope more details come to light, and that she gets more definitive answers soon.
She addesss lawsuit on federal courts. Since Dea was involved . She might seek help with aclu and others as this warrant was carried out on a pretext that a on going illegal enterprise was going on in her home. In description of seized items the sections are blank.
Its time to hold the judge accountable. Remove him or her from the bench and void pension and benefits.
They owe her more than an apology
How will she ever be made whole. Her husband is gone. She is all all alone. Every citizen that does not want this to happen to their homes should call every elected official to voice their outrage and opposition to No-Knock Warrants while you still can, The system is just gauging to see what the masses will tolerate.
This is how we lost Brenona Taylor with all of these inept cops running wild on our streets🤬🤬🤬🤬
NO MORE HUGS & FORGIVENESS !!!
Why are we shaking these people hands
How come we never see the actual officers apologizing
Poor woman, all she and husband wanted was peace and quiet.
Someone called them and instead of following the proper protocol they simply didn't. It's sad that it took a year however they do owe her an apology and compensation. It won't reverse the tragic results, however, it will bring some resolve for her and accountability with new protocol for them. They need to hold their police accountable for their actions just like they hold citizens accountable because No person(s) should be above the law!
Disgusting to know you raided the wrong home and you don’t have the decency to meet with the home owners and explain what happened.
That “I’m sorry” is not gonna bring her husband back. She deserves cash moneyyyy. Because apparently money is the only things that teaches these departments to get their stuff together.
Maybe the chief should have listened more before the botched raid!🤔
Mistake is inexcusable and unacceptable.
Why did it take a year to apologize. Where's the money for what your officers did. Her husband is deceased because of it. Lady don't be without knowledge come get it rolling.
❎. Senior abuse is
a federal crime punishable by law.
Denying medical treatment
Is evil.
Your only compensation 💰💰💰💰
Prison for all involved, loss of authority and weapons certification.
🤺💐
I would never trust them again in life.
He could SHOVE that apology where the 🌞 don't shine! She needs to sue...
The Chief is a coward!
Why is she having a conversation with the police? Just sue. Where are her children? Grandchildren? Smh.
Our police and government are so incompetent. This is sad. This is not a 1 off either
I wish she would have kept her hands at her sides and stared right into his face. "Not accepted. See you's in court".
People understand that police do not apologize ever! This is another reason why we celebrate when one falls!
They reporting this like he did something wonderful she waited a year for an apology? What about justice?
We the people, black or white, are no longer entitled to justice. We are ALL slaves to our government!
I'm sorry for your loss
Blessings to this awesome woman
This department needs cleaning up
Just because the chief apologized doesn't mean everything is okay. The police may take someone's life. I never saw them bring one back from the dead.
That is the very least they can do is to apologize. Every cop there that night should be made to look her in the eye and apologize! They cannot make mistakes like that!! Shouldn't they at the very least stake out someone's house before doing something like that? She deserves compensation for destroying her life like that! So, so wrong! Shame on them!!
I hope she doesn't believe that schitt the cops are telling her.
Here’s the problem, the system holds us “citizens” accountable for littering, going 5 miles over speed limit, jay walking. But they can’t be held accountable or say sorry for negatively altering someone’s life?🤷🏽♂️?🤦🏾♂️?
Those cops and the judge that signed the warrant deserve to spend a long time in prison. This disgusting abuse of power that led to the violation of this woman and her husband's civil rights should be severely punished. An apology is not enough!!!
An apology? This woman lost her husband and her sense of security. The sad part is most don’t get this because of it we are supposed to be “grateful” for the scraps given us. Ugh!!!
Thank you but I’m still suing. Sorry won’t bring her husband back
How much,I mean how sorry are ya?
An apology is an insult for what this woman has endured. Disgusting!
It doesn’t bring back 51 years of marriage from her husband
He is not sorry. She should not trust him.
I Still Would Sue ! I Know Better Late Then Never !
She did
That house doesn't look like a drug house to me. Did they do any kind of Surveillance at all?
Unacceptable not even enough
Meaningless gesture! Absolutely meaningless! Ego driven thugs without any oversight or consequences.
If they want to do no knock raids then they should have a crime that if nothing is found then it’s jail for those involved.
Exactly, they would then due their due diligence before breaking into someone’s home
There not giving straight answers come on chief
He is hoping the departement will end the publicity and to settle before the settlement gets to high. Disgusting, why did it take this long and the media to get any response out of him!!!
What ever happened to conducting surveillance on a location before a raid to verify the information?
👀 OK, A year later apology !! WOW 🤩!! Mrs PRICE “ SUE”.... ok to except apology, BUT SUE THEIR PANTS OFF !!! They call this a Mistake !!! I DO NOT BELIEVE IT !!! May Your Wonderful Husband REST IN PEACE & MAY GODS PEACE & PROTECTION BE WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES ✝️🙏🏾🤔🌻
What a remarkable woman!
NOT ENOUGH FOR WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH!!!!
Sue the city and the police department.
This poor old lady...😢😳
She deserves money!! That was BS!!
Lawsuits apologizing
"According to her lawsuit, Price and her husband were put in flex cuffs, which look like zip ties, and ordered to stay on their front lawn.
“Fort Worth Police officers guarded the Prices as other Fort Worth officers proceeded to ransack the residence,” the lawsuit alleges.
“They never said one reason as to why they were here,” Price said. Their marriage spanned half a century.
“Several hours passed,” the lawsuit claims. And “as time wore on, John Richard Price began feeling ill.”
At his age, Price said her husband had problems with his blood pressure.
“I asked them if they could get his medicine because I could tell that his blood pressure would go up,” Price told WFAA.
“Despite numerous desperate pleas from Mrs. Price, Fort Worth Police ignored their requests and continued their unlawful search,” according to the lawsuit.
Throughout it all, Price said she didn’t resist or act up.
“We didn't get rude,” she said. “We didn't, you know, get out of line with police *because being Black, you know, you don't get tough.”*
An ambulance was eventually called, and John was treated. But 53 days later, he died."
Hahaha.. What a joke of a dept. They have so much more that should be investigated.
