SWAT Gone Wild

In the past we have discussed concerns related to SWAT team actions, particularly those in Maryland, but in general as well. The growing tendency of SWAT actions that are unjustified, often in plainclothes, and which have a tendency to lead to the death of man’s four-legged friends.

REASON magazine has published (and is available online) a great article entitled “SWAT Gone Wild”. While there is very little included that has not already been covered within the gun blogger community. The article nicely consolidates a number of stories, providing an excellent summary of the problem.
