A stunning look at America's newly militarized police forces: from a ride-along with a South Carolina SWAT team, to a police training seminar that teaches "righteous violence”, to real scenes of soldier cops in action in Ferguson, Missouri. And soon,
military
surveillance equipment will be used – on us
all. An urgent wake-up call. |
