Title: Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces
Post by: saulgood on July 10, 2013, 04:51 pm
Has anyone read this new book by Radley Balko? Seems really interesting, and might be of interest to folks here. The excerpt is pretty intense, it walks through a bunch of SWAT raids gone completely wrong in a scary way.
