How many children, old people, and law-abiding citizens have to be injured, terrorized or killed before we call a halt to the growing rash of police violence that is wracking the country? How many family pets have to be gunned down in cold blood by marauding SWAT teams before we declare such tactics off limits? And how many communities have to be transformed into military outposts, complete with heavily armed police, military tanks, and “safety” checkpoints before we draw that line in the sand that says “not in our town”?
The latest incident comes out of Atlanta, Georgia, where a SWAT team, attempting to execute a no-knock drug warrant in the middle of the night, launched a flash bang grenade into the targeted home, only to have it land in a crib where a 19-month-old baby lay sleeping. The grenade exploded in the baby’s face, burning his face, lacerating his chest, and leaving him paralyzed. He is currently in the hospital in a medically induced coma.
Where too was the outrage when a Minnesota SWAT team raided the wrong house in the middle of the night, handcuffed the three young children, held the mother on the floor at gunpoint, shot the family dog, and then “forced the handcuffed children to sit next to the carcass of their dead pet and bloody pet for more than an hour” while they searched the home?

keep on keepin on is all I can't say, NO ONE IN AMERICA gives a damn any more because they or someone they know if not being affected YET...
People won't and don't change unless something happens that directly affects them... Then at that point it is too late, as usual...
Kind of like when a bridge is leaning almost sideways, knowing it will fall, everyone is like meh who cares until it actually does fall, killing someone, then and only then do they want to fix the bridge...
So in short, this will continue UNTIL every single america is affected by this, then they will help stop it, but sadly it won't do any good, because it will be to late to fight... All the laws, trucks, guns and the like for police will be in place and thats it police state and you do as your told you your gone...
good article but again nothing will change people are too scared and pussies to do anything...
Plus I keep telling people one way to fix this without legislation which will never come, is to start giving and eye for an eye...
We also need to get people who want to investigate this stuff and get the officers name and info and release it to the public so these guys are not insulated and so the society as a whole can turn them away for the actions they do...
Like make them leave resturants if they have a gun like they do to other people... Don't serve them anything anywhere and make their live hell as they do to US...
EYE for an EYE... we have to do something or you mind as well shut the fuck up and go back to sleep...
you have corrupt cops investigating corrupt cops and find they did nothing wrong... Where do you think you can win with shit like that?
