Remember that war I discussed in a previous post (amidst the talk of astrology & astronomy)? Well Uncle has a pic you should all see concerning one of the (bad pun alert) fronts.

I read Radley Balko's post and noted:
When Capps' family attempted to file a complaint with the review board, the board instituted a new rule denying a hearing to any complainant who had sought financial compensation from the city prior to the complaint, and applied the rule retroactively.
Though neither Capps nor her family had asked for any compensation, Cates had, which the review board said was justification for them to refuse to even listen to a complaint about the raid. After complaints from local activist groups, the board relented.

My question is -- "this is a red state?"
