"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

Great article -- Having experienced first-hand and lost a good friend to the violent nature of drug cops, I would add only that every drug raid, right address, wrong address, botched or not, is an assault on civilians by police. And keeping in mind that drugs are never, ever, found until the shooting stops, this is violence perpetrated against constitutionally innocent people. And if they can do it to us, they can, and will, do it to you.
