It's funny that "police brutality" entered public discourse right after it became common knowledge that SWAT teams can break into your home unannounced and shoot your dogs without accountability. Never mind that this has been happening for decades to other groups and it ended with dead people and not pets. > As long as WASP-y suburban white America doesn't feel the pinch. As soon as some unannounced no-knock raid by a SWAT team decked out like it's Fallujah circa '05 busts in and shoots up a bunch of 18-year-old "all-American" kids, prom queens and cheer-leaders and judges' daughters and sons and all. Then and only then will you see a real outcry. In my area, an upper class and upper middle class region near a large city, a prescription opioid and heroin epidemic has been sweeping up affluent white children. There is a big difference in how drug related offenses are handled now, the consequences are much less severe and many go home uncharged.
