A look at the increasingly militarized state of American police told through the story of "Dub" Lawrence, a former sheriff who established his state’s first SWAT team only to see it kill his son-in-law in a standoff 30 years later.

Encapsulates what most LEO's try to accomplish against some very severe odds these days. I have no doubt this man is being honest. He's old school and the militarization of our police is playing with fire in the way they operate. They don't neutralize anything, they help escalate situations so they can kill someone without repercussion. Anyone having a breakdown or crisis doesn't need a slew of militant cops around to kick in the real paranoia. It never ends well.

I'd ask Trump how do you defend the Cops, protect the constitution & second amendment when they kill innocent with or with out a gun? It's time to realise the police are the enemies to freedom and liberty!

Saw this documentary at a special screening with the creators. Dub is everything the documentary shows. This is the best look yet at police militarization in the United States.
