US citizens: call on Congress to go further against dangerous thug practices.
Here's the message I sent:

I urge Congress to take stronger action against dangerous police practices. For instance, to entirely end the provision of military weapons and vehicles to police departments, and make them get rid of most of the military weapons and vehicles they now possess.

Each SWAT team must be used, to keep its skill up, and that means many opportunities each year for it to kill or wound. We should eliminate most of the SWAT teams, leaving just enough that one can reach any necessary location by helicopter in 90 minutes. Then they will be used only when that is truly necessary.

In addition, it is vital to put an end to no-knock and quick-knock raids at all levels of jurisdiction.
