"A few nights ago, my 8-year-old woke up in the middle of the night screaming, “No, don’t kill him! You’re hurting my brother! Don’t kill him.”"

How do police officers (or SWAT) deal with this? Sure they are doing their job, but have they become that detached that a flash bang in a babies crib is an acceptable incident on the "field" when searching for a young persons drugs?

Who thought it was a good idea to use military flash bangs against civilians in the first place?

Is this not all just breeding a generation of people who view their own government as tyrants?
