Dar, “What to do? No where to go”
Start by asking your chief of Police. How much does our swat team cost all together and are their training records public? Either he won’t answer, or he will fib, or he will tell and you the truth and you will shityourpants. Coming to a theater very near you.

I have been screaming to de-fund P.D.’s for years. Way too much money, too many toys, too much personnel. Too much power. Up to no good.
Police funding courts through fines. Attorneys getting elected and writing laws that are jobs programs for attorneys. LE self funding through seizures, directly benefiting personnel who do the seizing. Just a giant self funding, self propagating mess. A mess that preys upon peoples fear. A gigantic protection racket.
