I believe the reason this video went viral is that we have reached a “tipping point” as far as police abuses of law and, specifically, unlawful uses of SWAT are concerned. My hope is the same as Radley Balko’s: that people will look at SWAT raids in their own communities, investigate the details, and ask why paramilitary raids are being carried out on–-in most instances–-unarmed, peaceful, law-abiding citizens.
