** America's endless wars come home: The militarization of the police
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed][UNIQID]

The War on Drugs, the War on Terror, the bloated Pentagon budget, and the pork barrel politics of Members of Congress have all led to systematic militarized violence against Americans.

This panel will discuss how we got to this point, and how to reduce the militarization of the police moving forward.
