The BBC weighs in on the senseless killing of Salvatore Culosi. Salvatore Culosi was killed by the police as they were carrying out a search warrant with a SWAT team. What was Salvatore’s alleged crime–being a sports bookie.

According to the article, “in the 1980s there were about 3,000 Swat team deployments annually across the US, but says now there are at least 40,000 per year.”

This is a scary trend.
