This should be described as "police terrorism".

Terrorism is kinda sort of what they're trying for. I think they do raids this way explicitly to stun everybody and to not allow any time for escape or destruction of evidence or taking up arms etc.

That said, these raids are fucking shitty and probably pointless. You could try setting up a perimeter and calling them out over a megaphone, first. Just try anything first before you break their door down and shoot their dog.

They overdo it to a comical extent, of course. You don't need every last officer in the county wearing body armor and packing semi-automatic rifles. I really think they just get a hard-on for playing soldier. On Live PD I've seen them get that armor and rifle out of the trunk so many times. Guys, there's like four people in there smoking pot. They aren't fucking X-Men, just man up and ring the doorbell.

Specific communities are targeted in this way. Low income communities.
Affluent communities have guns too, so there's no justifiable reason for this selective hyper-aggression.

It's literally state-sanctioned terrorism, against low income communities.

Have they tried not being black?

I'm pretty sure that everyone has tried that.

Americans used to have morals and pride.

Americans protested the war in Vietnam, but now Americans stay silent about illegal wars.

Americans nearly impeached Nixon for wiretapping a hotel, but now Americans don't care that Trump is unconstitutionally wiretapping the entire US.

Americans used to fight Commies and Nazis, but now have become Commies and Nazis.

Trade wars made the Great Depression worse, but Americans now scream trade wars that kill jobs and raise prices are good.

Americans used to to think welfare was shameful.

Americans used to care about the national debt.

Americans are no better than animals at this stage.

The total collapse of the USA is stunning and disgusting.

Why the suicide rate in the US is not higher is a mystery.

The US is a police state now. Americans should be out in the streets with pitchforks and torches, but instead they would rather shut up, cover their ears, and put their heads in the sand.

Weird.
