Next Week On Dallas SWAT

I meant to link to this last week but forgot- better late than never- Radley Balco publishes an e-mail from a man who was at a poker game which was raided by a SWAT-team being filmed for the A&E show Dallas SWAT. Take the time to read it and ask yourself the same question that Balco has been asking for the past several years- Is this militarization of our police forces doing anyone any good? Are we really making ourselves safer by sending heavily armed officers into non-violent situations?
