The first segment was on the Alyona Show (video embedded below the fold) and she kept asking whether these type of raids was tied to the return of troops from the battlefield and now serving on SWAT. I don't agree with that and so I kept deflecting those queries. The second segment was on the 7 pm News and followed an interview with Cheye Calvo, Mayor of Berwyn Heights, MD. He was the victim of a raid by Prince Georges Cty. SWAT which killed his two black labs. It was over a package some smugglers were using to move weed. They would address a box to a random citizen, in this case his wife, and then one of their buddies who worked at the package company would intercept it before delivery. Well the cops figgered out there was weed in it and delivered it themselves and when he brought the box in the house they did a dynamic entry and took out both his dogs and help him and his Mother in Law for several hours while they tore his house up. His If you want to get some very interesting email just go on RT TV and call our police puppy-slaughtering, jack-booted thugs. So to end this let me reiterate, I am not saying that SWAT teams are bad mmmkay. I am saying I think using them to serve warrants on non-violent offenders is an awful idea. The Alyona Show
