Fisher (emeritus, criminal justice, Edinboro U. of Pennsylvania) outlines the growing scope of militarized special weapons and tactics (SWAT) police actions in the United States, particularly forced-entry, no-knock raids that have increasingly become the face of the war on drugs. He also describes the many harms that can and do result from such actions, including cases of police raiding the wrong residence, police shootings resulting from the volatile tactic when a non-violent execution of a search warrant could have been easily conducted, and even placing victims of wrongful raids on death row for shooting police officers mistakenly thought to be criminal home invaders.
