This crap really took after Waco and Ruby Ridge - two instances where people got slaughtered. In those cases it wasn't police but military and the FBI & ATF. I know I felt safer when Vicki Weaver got shot while holding her baby. Or when Janet Reno decided to burn the children to death to save them.

I'll read all of those entries tomorrow.
This site is dedicated to the memory of our beloved son of 37 years, Dr. Salvatore J. Culosi. Sal was unjustly shot and killed by a member of the Fairfax County, VA police SWAT team on January 24, 2006. Sal was under investigation by Fairfax County police for supposedly taking sports bets. Police sent a fully-armed, paramilitary SWAT team to his home to serve a documents search warrant and killed him with a .45 Heckler & Koch handgun – a powerful weapon typically used by U.S. military forces in combat. Sal was alone, unarmed and cooperative outside his home - in plain view when he was shot and killed. He had no criminal history and did not own a weapon.
Jesus.
