Unsurprising, but still tragic. These videos prove nothing, but I'll trust my instincts here and say we are investing too much time, energy, and money into militarizing our police. Just as in medicine, where we are content to treat symptoms but never address causes or search for cures (no $$$ in that!), we pay the police our hard earned cash for them to stick their fingers in the bursting dykes. "My work is done here!" Society is broken, the banking system is broken, the business world is broken, politics are broken-"everything is broken" (Bob Dylan). Ain't gonna fix anything with more guns, but we will hold the population (#s) in check better...
