Today is the 12th anniversary of 9/11, when almost 3,000 people died in terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. Since that day, Americans have been told by red and blue politicians alike that they must accept the loss of some liberties to gain security. Let’s evaluate how that’s going.
In retaliation for the attacks, the US invaded Iraq, a country which was later shown to have no connection to the attacks, and 1.5 Million Iraqis died as a result. Proportionally adjusted for population, this would be the equivalent of 15 Million dead Americans. 3 Million Iraqis have been displaced due to radiation poisoning from the Americans, and half of all newborn Iraqis are born with some sort of birth defect as a result of radiation. New wars were created in Afghanistan and Libya and Yemen, and now the American President is making a case to go to war with Syria. But that’s all happening far away. What’s happening at home?
In Concord, New Hampshire this week, the city council voted themselves a new Lenco BearCat G3 tank. Despite hundreds of people coming to the city council meeting to oppose it, the vote passed 11 to 4. Over 15 hundred people have signed a petition opposing the BearCat. Public pressure caused the Concord police chief to back off his unfounded claim that he needed the tank to fend off a terrorism threat posed by the Free State Project and Occupy New Hampshire. 2 years ago, the city council in Keene, New Hampshire, also purchased a BearCat for their police. Vocal critics include Peace-Loving Hippies as well as Marines and Veterans. They assert that behavior by government is militaristic, against the will of the people, and rings of turning local police into a domestic army. Some activists are running for city council to try to bring peace from the inside. Peace News Now will continue to bring you the latest on the militarization of local police.

A Texas family is standing up to a law enforcer xwho beat up the entire family after pulling over their son for speeding. Among other abuses, the dash cam footage captured the cop repeatedly kicking the boy’s father in the face. He’s being charged with official oppression.
This weekend in Arkansas, a 107-year old man was surrounded and shot by SWAT. The man was holed up in his bedroom with a handgun and insisting that he wanted to be left alone. Although this is not a crime, an elderly roommate who had recently begun living with the man called the police on him. When the police went to his bedroom door, he shot out of it, and none of them were hit. The SWAT team then threw gas canisters into his window in hopes to choke him out of his room, but instead, he fired more shots. Then they raided his bedroom and the entire team shot rounds into the man for what witnesses reported was about 20-30 seconds of straight gunfire. Neighbors are wondering if it had to come to this, and why police used deadly force rather than wait until he fell asleep.
Speaking of overreactions, this week 12-year-old Dejamon Baker was out shopping for clothes with her mother when police suddenly placed her mother in handcuffs. Confused and scared that her mother was being abducted, Dejamon attempted to intervene. That's when police shot her the 12-year old with their tasers. One of the prongs went into her stomach, and the other one into her chest. They got stuck and had to be yanked out of her body while little girl writhed in pain, shaking on the ground. The mother's crime? Unpaid parking tickets. St. Louis police say their actions were, quote, "justified." Do you agree?
