Now, even though there will surely be some who will suspect that I'm anti-Police in some way, or want bad guys to get away ect.,ect.,
I am actually posting this for the good of both Civilians & Police officers, & the future of the Fourth Amendment in our nation. Lose the general trust of the public, & Police work gets much more dangerous than it needs to be. The Cato Institute is the source of the information you will see on the following "botched raid map". The Cato Institute is a very well known & reputable research organization. I have pasted in their "About" details below if you'd like to know what they are about before clicking on the "Botched Paramilitary Police Raid" Map. I have to warn you, the facts are sobering, & downright frightening. In some areas of the country, there is an absolute epidemic of innocent Civilians & Civilian Police being killed in these raids, sometimes over nothing at all, other times over petty crimes like marijuana possession (As opposed to Drug Distribution).. Please do review the Map & it's keys/accounts & if you think you want this type of law enforcement behavior strictly controlled, as I do, please write your Representatives. I want our police forces fighting crime, but not endangering themselves & others who may be innocent under the false guise of "Law Enforcement". If you Flash Bang a person's house, or the WRONG house, & cause them post traumatic stress & possibly permanent injury, or even worse, "accidentally" shoot them before they've even had a trial, that is NOT "Law enforcement", that is Government sanctioned anarchy & tyranny. It is dangerous to our Liberty, period.
