The militarization of policing took modern day form under the war on drugs...we went from Officer Friendly to GI Joe. From Protect & Serve to Shoot 2 Kill.

One of the great shows from Mae! This is a critical piece of contemporary American history: the birth of the SWAT Team. Preston Guillory provides information that should make a lot of things click into place, and could have easily been buried in the memory hole. This is especially interesting after what we have witnessed during the summer of 2020 and the use of political protest theater to manipulate not just public opinion about law and order but to influence political outcomes.
