OGDEN, Utah -- Former Sheriff William "Dub" Lawrence has watched with dismay as America's war on drugs has escalated, and SWAT teams have become more aggressive, more militarized, and less focused on resolving disputes peacefully.

"SWAT teams have been infiltrated by bullies with badges and guns who foster a mentality that killing criminals reduces recidivism," he says. "We're on the wrong track. I look at what's happened to law enforcement today, and I'm ashamed and heartbroken by what I see. We've lost sight of what's important. We've lost sight of what the job should be about, which is protecting the constitutional rights of the people."

At least they are using those now instead of 113s.  M113s are not the safest vehicle to be out on the road with unless they are maintained by professional tracked vehicle mechanics.  Do the warrior cops who drive these things into fake battle even know how to handle a broken track or propeller shaft?

This is why I'm laughing.

A SWAT operation that involves gunfire is a failure.

No-knock raids and the WoD are the bedrock of our freedoms.

They are necessary for domestic tranquility.

Everytime I see a drug bust or a raw milk raid, I feel a strong sense of patriotism and freedom course through my veins.
