They put the striking prisoners in solitary confinement and started force-feeding them (a practice that, it bears mentioning, is considered torture by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and banned by the World Medical Association).

Reversing the U.S. s military policing

Today in America, SWAT teams are deployed about 100 to 150 times per day, or about 50,000 times per year, a dramatic increase from the 3,000 or so annual deployments in the early 1980s, or the few hundred in the 1970s. The vast majority of today s deployments are to serve search warrants for drug crimes.
