We do not treat Iraqis like this; we do not treat Afganis like this. Troops who do, are tried for war crimes. Why are we letting our own citizens be treated this way? Why is SWAT now an integral part of any ‘drug’ bust, even a ‘small amount’? Where is the sheriff and why isn't he, and the folks who elected him, dealing with this dangerous trend?

The sheriff was/is ok with it[the throwing the grenade in the bed with the child in it]. But what the hell, they were not politicians, muslims, or celebrities, just ordinary joes and janes, A/k/a peasants so who cares if tree or four hundred of them get killed. The important thing is that the cops went home safely.

Because such raids have been justified and downplayed for decades.

And now we are seeing what happens when you downplay or justify tyranny.
