ONE COUNTY in Maryland discovers the excessive use of SWAT on non-violent and consentual offenses.
That means more than 100 times last year Prince George's County brought state-sanctioned violence to confront people suspected of nonviolent crimes. And that's just one county in Maryland.
Hey, you gotta justify those big budgets for all that sweet kit, and top-of-the-line training right?

There is no excuse for this. Dynamic Entry raids should be banned completely, except in hostage situations. And no, I don't give a damn if it means the goon squad is out of practice from not being able to shoot dogs 4 times a day.
