These increasingly frequent raids, 40,000 per year by one estimate, are needlessly subjecting nonviolent drug offenders, bystanders, and wrongly targeted civilians to the terror of having their homes invaded while they’re sleeping, usually by teams of heavily armed paramilitary units dressed not as police officers but as soldiers.I can only read this about a dozen pages at a time, and then I need to take a break and go cool down.

I just read it. I felt sick to my stomach. It's so incomprehensible the number of innocent lives lost in these military-style police raids simply because the police had the wrong address.
