This event is pretty horrendous, and is just today's haul of an endless trickle of similar incidents. I've been posting a lot of these police insanity articles to HN lately in hopes of stimulating more discussion of what the STEM community can do to mitigate state violence against people. Personally, I think that we as a community would do well to organize into a highly visible/vocal political bloc (which could serve many other purposes as well!) that could be used to buy political influence or media attention.
