Couldn't have said it better

I could quote Radley Balko all day long, but this gem is a great followup to these recent events.

This is in response to the recent SCOTUS Hudson case, where Scalia said [pdf] that police are more professional and better trained now.

"They're better trained at treating civilians like enemy combatants, not at treating them as citizens wih constitutional rights."

Right on.

[Update -- this is what I get for reading out of chronological order. Balko is cited in the Hudson dissent.]
