Very few people understand the extent of our technological advancements in the world of weaponry ... fewer people understand that many of these weapons have now been given to our police departments ... this article does a good job of explaining this ...

Now, I'm not assuming that these weapons will be used on the general public, but I do know for a fact that they are now being tested on citizens around the world ...
Feel free to add your own articles about possible human rights violations ....
