Austin's KUT-News today interviewed Radley Balko about his new book, Rise of the Warrior Cop: The militarization of America's police forces. Listen to it here.
MORE: This afternoon I went to listen to Balko's speech at the Peaceful Streets Project's second annual summit. Good stuff. In the Q&A I asked what solutions Balko would offer to the problem of police overmilitarization. He referred me to a chapter in his book - and upon returning home I see he could have referred to this recent column - but answered in a nutshell, "End the drug war." He lamented as the applause died down, "that's not going to happen." But as my mama always said, "Can't never could."
