Map of Botched Paramilitary Police Raids
I don't think I've blogged about this before, even though I first saw this resource a while back. Here is a very informative -- and scary -- map of botched paramilitary police raids. So many innocent people injured or killed as a result of these incidents!
So many of these botched raids are the result of America's insane "Drug War". Sadly, changing course in that "war" seems to be getting very little attention these days.
Kudos to Cato and Radley Balko for putting this information together.

While most of deaths have occured to raids in the "war on drugs" here in Fairfax County (DC suburb) a man was killed because he was suspected of taking bets on sports events. The county is going to give the officer three weeks off without pay and take him off the swat team. The police union is opposing this measure as too strong.
