“This country is plagued with SWATs, and we need to make ending them a political issue. Free people shouldn’t stand for this kind of government brutality, much less support it.”

That still leaves us with men who have no compunction about tossing grenades into homes. 50 years ago you would have had too look a long time to find men who would do these things in America...and you wouldn’t have found very many of them even on police forces.

When cops gang up, they are worse than gangs. Breaking up and limiting SWATS, in addition to tightly restricting their use, would end a great deal of gangland style brutality from our police forces. As long as the drug war and other “wars on” passions are a part of our national neurosis, stupid violence from out-of-control police will continue, but there are things states and communities can do to improve matters.
