Conservatives and Tea Party members could be making GIGANTIC inraods with the under 30 crowd by leading the charge against these obscene power abuses and making it know that they are leading the charge and are among the only people willing to take actual initiative on this. The increasing gov’t intrusion on individual liberty is a much more severe issue for millennials than one might think. There are certainly way more millennials than you might think who care way more about this than, say, global warming.
The problem is that there is almost no “positive spirit” left in the scene. Which is a “distancing from God” problem. Nobody wants to hit these perfumed prince scouts of blue in the head because they are too fragile (or at least claim it) to be able to rise up again doing the right thing next time around.
Chicken. Buck-aw.
Most of this is directly attributable to conservatives/GOP.
The GOP has been the law and order party that has consistently used crime as a political wedge issue.
A Republican started the war on drugs. A republican was the first prez to give military hardware to law enforcement. A republican prez was the first to give DHS grants to law enforcement. The GOP has promoted gun ownership and because there are more guns law enforcement feels safer with military type raids.
Most GOPers say that these botched raids are not really a problem, that they are relatively small percentage of the total raids/dynamic entries. The only difference is that thru the years and decades, the number of swat teams and swat raids have increased.
