Video of SWAT Raid on Missouri Family
Ignore this if you do not want to be disturbed and horrified.
Radley Balko of Reason has posted video of the SWAT raid on a Missouri home that he wrote about last February.
It's horrifying, but I'd urge you to watch it, and to send it to the drug warriors in your life. This is the blunt-end result of all the war imagery and militaristic rhetoric politicians have been spewing for the last 30 years -- cops dressed like soldiers, barreling through the front door middle of the night, slaughtering the family pets, filling the house with bullets in the presence of children, then having the audacity to charge the parents with endangering their own kid. There are 100-150 of these raids every day in America, the vast, vast majority like this one, to serve a warrant for a consensual crime.
All for a small amount of marijuana. This was passed on by Danny Danko, also via Mother Jones.
