Via CATO we have an “interactive map of botched SWAT and paramilitary police raids” released in conjunction with Overkill: The Rise of Paramilitary Police Raids by Radley Balko.
Seems like a good time to remind everyone that the misuse of police force could happen to anyone. No doubt it falls disproportionally upon ethnic minorities and underpriviledged neighborhoods, but it goes well beyond that, and we all have an interest in pursuing accountability and systemic reform. If you check out the interactive map, you can zoom in on any part of the country and click on the marker for the background information on each raid.
Share and enjoy!
