Is everybody blind indeed?

  In keeping with Hoosierman's post below of the rise of the warrior cop, we might also note that The Blaze has an interesting video up of a retired Marine who is asking, "Is everybody blind?"
 Russia Today -- and numerous sources including the GAO-- question why Homeland Security has made excessive ammo purchases, enough for 5 bullets per citizen.
  Why are communities like Concord NH buying unbelievably fortified TANKS that not even our soldiers in Iraq had access to?

In recent years, SWAT teams have been called out to perform regulatory alcohol inspections at a bar in Manassas Park, Va.; to raid bars for suspected underage drinking in New Haven, Conn.; to perform license inspections at barbershops in Orlando, Fla.; and to raid a gay bar in Atlanta where police suspected customers and employees were having public sex. A federal investigation later found that Atlanta police had made up the allegations of public sex.
Other raids

have been conducted on food co-ops and Amish farms suspected of selling unpasteurized milk products. The federal government has for years been conducting raids on medical marijuana dispensaries in states that have legalized them, even though the businesses operate openly and are unlikely to pose any threat to the safety of federal enforcers.
