Fallout from 9-1-1 (9/11/2001): While the United States Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” a New Haven, connecticut Special Weapons And Tactics team of para-militarized statute enforcement officers (acting under-color-of-law) raids the home of Joseph Adams, damaging doors and detaining him for over two hours, before they realize they raided the wrong house.
NOTE: There were around 3,000 SWAT raids in 1980. Four decades later that number had risen to nearly 80,000.
