Report Shows SWAT justifies tactics by claiming "Gun may be involved"

[Hound]

I think the complaints about the ACLU are BS. They tried to get more info but were denied, they point it out and that it shows even more how much secrecy is involved with PD's. Also, just because they fight for minorities does not discredit what they are showing here, which affects us all. We have all seen the MRAP's craziness that some PD's are going to and it points again to a militarization of the CIVILLIAN police. Somebody on here in a recent post pointed out that cops walking the beat and getting a free cup of coffee knew their area because they were part of that area. This was stopped in fear of it looking like a shake down by the police. What it really did was got rid of the Andy Griffith's of the world and made it more of an us against them..... From both sides. Now it seems like Barney has taken over and there is nobody to tell him ONLY one bullet and BTW keep it in your pocket.
