This FOX News segment with Judge Napolitano is a must-see that really captures how everyone is feeling about the raid in Missouri.
Radley Balko follows up with the best piece yet written about this epic drug war controversy. There is nothing more important to understand here than the fact that everything that took place in that video is standard operating procedure in the war on drugs. The vilification of drugs and drug users has given birth to a vicious recklessness that characterizes modern drug enforcement even, and sometimes especially, when police perfectly follow the law and the orders they're given.
Until that changes, nothing else ever will.
