Connecting The Dots

Kim du Toit - Kim hit it dead center on the militarization of police. Of course I'll go further. Kill an innocent during a SWAT raid on the wrong house? Murder one for everybody involved. Mandatory execution if found guilty. [kimdutoit]

Law enforcement cannot have it both ways: they cannot have greater power over the populace without also being more responsible for its use.

In other words, the next time the Swatties raid the wrong place and kill some poor innocent schmuck like me, I want the raid commander to be charged with first-degree murder. No cover-ups, no weasel words, no nonsense. Wrong address + dead innocent = severe punishment (and not adminstrative punishment, but criminal punishment).
