Blast from the past: SWAT raid shuts down Dallas VFW over veterans' poker night
This is a little dated but new to me, so consider it a Veterans Day Special. Via Radley Balko, check out this video from Reason.TV about a raid by SWAT personnel during poker night at a Dallas VFW hall, narrated by the comedian Drew Carey back in 2007:

No, but I bet it makes it to an episode of The Good Guys.
Rage
Musta been a slow night for the SWAT team in the Bid D.
@ 8:22
Probably not. The police these days seem to look for any excuse to play dress-up in their tacti-cool gear and go kicking down doors. Allows them to live out their Bruckheimer fantasies!
This incident still causes my blood pressure to climb!

Did you see the swat team drills for the super bowl on Dallas newcasts last nite? I'm sure that makes all the visitors feel warm and fuzzy. The rational for the drills was to prepare for all the drunks and parties. Beam me up Scotty, I'm outta here.
Did there wear there Army uniforms, military style helmets, carry there grenade launchers and ride in there armored cars?
God help us!

Wonder how many Super Bowl visitors will end up being long-term guests of the State of Texas? Call this a conspiracy theory but does anyone else really trust that Texas will not come up with some clever way to arrest and incarcerate as many people as possible during the big game?
Instead of tourism commercials inviting people to the Super Bowl, we should buy TV time to tell people what to say and do when they encounter Texas law enforcement.
It's mostly a game, in and of itself, to keep our 112 prisons filled and our gurney busy!
Just another reason gambling needs to be made legal here in Texas.
In a series of poker room raids a few years ago, with the Dallas Swat television crew along for the spectacle, people said the TV and police videos were all mysteriously lost.

Law enforcement in Texas at their best, raiding a VFW! I hate Texas! I am going home when my husband is released by TDCJ (soon, I hope!) When they imprison you for 15 years for writing a hot check, then it is time to go!
What reason did they use to justify this excessive use of force?
This is the kind of thing that needs to make it to the mainstream news, because people need to know a lot more than what is presented.
Amazing and Sad.
They raid an organization where the normal member has not only killed in the name of this nation, but has forgotten more about it than some sad sack police officer ever will.
Damned Shame.
