occupying army than they do public servants responding to calls for help. Police 
officers can now be seen wearing helmets and body armor and carrying AR-15's, 
just to deliver simple warrants. The militarization of our police departments 
not only gives the appearance of a military dictatorship but places the public 
at great risk.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/60717">No less than 70 percent of U.S. cities now have SWAT teams. In cities with a 
population of 50,000 or more, 90 percent have SWAT teams.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/60717">SWAT teams were designed to deal with very violent individuals who represent a 
clear and present threat to the public. However, they are now being used to 
execute warrants on non-violent offenders and even those who have no prior 
criminal history at all. Turning our neighborhood cops into shock troops will do 
nothing but erode public confidence in the police and endanger the lives of 
innocent Americans</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/60717">Did someone declare martial law?</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DFA1EEC7-0644-41CD-8CC4-F70DABB9C4DF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
