I mean.. We do this to civilians all the time. What do people think has been going on in our ghettos for the last 30 years? (Or even more in some places.) Not that we should tolerate it, but this is nothing new.

It's not new, but it's become more widespread and we're reaching the point people have been warning for years that we'd reach if we didn't take any efforts to reign it in. Americans, and perhaps much of the Western world, have been lulled into a sense of complacency since the end of WWII. Now everybody is discovering how fast a military state created during the Cold War can be transformed into a police state.

But, you know, I've never really heard of the police (local, state or federal) executing a general warrant against an entire apartment complex. How do you even get a judge to sign off on that? --edit-- Oh, flagged, guess we don't talk about that here...

not this way no, black hawk and tactical teams to illegally raid a build with innocent families?, I've never heard of that at this scale, it's pretty obvious they want to create a fictitious situation to convince people there's threat where there isn't any.

  What I'm saying is if those people had been the people we generally do this to, as opposed to immigrants, we would have simply dropped a bomb on them instead of dropping tactical teams. Again, I'm not agreeing with any of these tactics. I'm only saying that these kinds of actions have been normalized over the last 30-40 years, so we've all got to at least consider the possibility of such actions being taken against us if we fall afoul of the law.
