The horse races were legal, but the FBI said it was investigating unlicensed parimutuel betting. That type of gambling is allowed in Idaho in some circumstances.
One of the plaintiffs, the 10-year-old girl, came down from her family’s truck “crying and tried to hug her father.” But law enforcement, “with guns drawn,” pushed her dad and grabbed the girl by her neck, scratching her.
“They broke the windows of cars parked on the property, sending glass pouring onto those inside, including children who had taken refuge in cars because of rain,” the lawsuit said. “They threw compliant people to the ground and shot rubber bullets over the heads of teenagers.”
Officers also hit a man on the head with a rifle after he said he didn’t speak Spanish, making him bleed. But they didn’t provide medical treatment. The man, who is white, had darker skin, so officers kept speaking to him in Spanish. Another detainee fainted from a panic attack and was never given medical treatment
