Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 1121255, member: 405"] Police in this country are out of control. There are now roughly 80,000 SWAT attacks against private citizens' homes every year. That averages out to more than 4 per day in every single state. Only about 1/3 of the time do these SWAT attacks turn up drugs or weapons, which is the basis of almost all of these middle-of-the-night attacks into our homes. In his article, Etan says that a black man is shot dead by a white police twice a week in this country. Personally, I would have thought it was more than that. Between 2003 and 2009, the DOJ reported that 4,813 people died while in the process of arrest or in the custody of law enforcement. [/QUOTE]
