When there is a pounding on your door


Who guards the guardians?

"The lesson here for we civilians is rather troubling: If you have the misfortune of being related to or an acquaintance of someone wanted on drug charges, it's perfectly acceptable for heavily-armed paramilitary police units to tear down your door and invade your home. And if -- being innocent and all, and having no reason to think the police would invade your home -- you understandably mistake those raiding officers for criminal intruders, well, you deserve what you get. It's your fault."
