WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE?

The law-and-order Republican crowd has expressed outrage about the use of
an excessive show of force in the Elian Gonzalez raid, and rightfully so.

One cannot help but wonder, though, where this crowd's outrage is in the
many other cases when, as a matter of routine, law officers (dressed in
military-style combat gear, carrying combat assault weapons and using
military combat tactics) kick down doors in the middle of the night without
knocking, scream at the top of their lungs, threaten occupants with death,
destroy property and conduct a house-wrecking search, and then find nothing
illegal on the property.

Any resistance to this sort of invasion can lead to instant death.

Do I detect a note of hypocrisy here, or is it just politics?
