Consider these items:

1. Since when do ‘threats’ justify this kind of an overreaction?

2. Would threats to one of the Hoi polloi be treated the same or would it be ignored?

Someone pointed out that the ‘S’ in SWAT is for Special – these days it seems like ‘special’ is everyday whenever the Government decides it is.

“Someone pointed out that the ‘S’ in SWAT is for Special...”

Oh that is so weird, I just read that same thing over in the comments at NRO. To a very pointless Jay Nordlinger post in which he quotes from an email he got from a LEO (I think that’s what it was).

I generally like Nordlinger, but he can be a little full of himself. The cop discusses a raid on what sounds like Al Capone’s place, which is not what anyone is talking about.
