Waco SWAT


There was a bomb threat this morning, caused, I'd imagine, by some yahoo hopped up on bath salts and turpentine; evidently Waco SWAT was called in to sort it out. We discussed this after Mass and some of the church people thought that bringing in Waco SWAT was overkill. They felt that the local PD should have taken care of business on its home turf. I was inclined to agree, until one churchman closed the argument. This is what he said:

"Hillsboro PD ain't got a man that could detonate a bomb without killing every person in the county. And that's the honest truth."

No one appeared willing to argue with that.

What's with the APC?

Notable exceptions notwithstanding, I'm against the ongoing militarization of our police. Who are they planning to fight? We have to wonder.

Have a blessed Sunday,
