The US seems headed down the slippery slope to a police state — with a twist. It’s not about the executive branch seizing power arbitrarily — although there’s been plenty of that recently — rather it’s about the increasing tendency for police departments all over the US to use SWAT teams for everything, including the arrest of people not even suspected of violent crimes, and the inevitable resulting deaths by accidents and overreactions. Well worth a read.
