This is a very disturbing read!!

I am so sick of Para military police actions which are simply not warranted.. Sometimes I feel this type of behavior by police is a direct result of 911 and the ensuing adoration towards police, that they can
not do anything wrong..”They are here to protect our freedoms”

This is so fucking dangerous.....and we need to take law enforcement back!

most have done "policing" in a war zone....

The problem with being at war for over 10 yrs....it comes home to roost.

Sending a SWAT team over a bet among friends is totally over-the-top. What in the world were they thinking????
