“Men dressed like the guys in the image below now patrol America’s cities. How would you react if this group of armed men pulled over your vehicle or detained you on the street? If you don’t display the proper degree of submissiveness, there’s a real chance you’ll die, on the spot. In 1980, SWAT teams were deployed 2,884 times nationwide. By 2010, the number had soared to 50,000 or more annually. Initiatives like the federally funded ‘fusion centers’ that link local law enforcement agencies to federal databases train police to view citizens as potential terrorists. Is it any wonder that US police believe, like James Bond, that they have a license to kill?”
