        @BoingBoing what makes this worse is the amount federal dollars spent on counter-terrorism v the amount of spending on civil liberties.

        @BoingBoing @overclicked Does this mean we're going to have a "war on policing"?

        @FFSnipe @BoingBoing The next problem is how poorly reported on those statistics are. How do we define "usually" if there's never a trial?
