“What could possibly justify police ‘red-dotting’ peaceful protesters with laser sights, or an attempted head-shot, with a tear gas canister, at a man standing in his own yard, insisting, ‘this [is] my property!’?

The Ferguson clampdown has even law and order conservatives like Red State’s Erick Erickson worried about ‘the militarization of the police and overkill by local police forces.’ But maybe they’re not worried enough. It’s no accident that technology developed for population control in foreign counterinsurgencies is being turned inward.”
