SWAT-Team Nation: The Militarization of the U.S. Police

“Inside, gallerygoers were looking at art and dancing to a d.j.; outside, on the patio, several young women were goofily belting out the lyrics to ‘Hakuna Matata,’ from ‘The Lion King’.  Only then did masked figures with guns storm the crowd, shouting, ‘Get on the fucking ground! Get down, get down!’ Some forty Detroit police officers dressed in commando gear ordered the gallery attendees to line up on their knees, then took their car keys and confiscated their vehicles, largely on the grounds that the gallery lacked the proper permits for dancing and drinking.  More than forty cars were seized, and owners paid around a thousand dollars each to get them back.”
