This is great but as the most recent failure to indict a while policeman shows, even footage is not considered good enough.

"This initiative will ensure that police officers across the country will be held accountable for their actions as they pour out of an 18-ton combat vehicle in response to a routine call,"

What exactly is a routine call for an "armored personnel carrier, landmine-resistant SWAT van," and/or a "battle-ready half-track" in an urban neighborhood?

Serving a warrant, probably.

For some reason this just struck me as hilarious. Probably because it's too close to the truth. :/
