Here is a map of the United States with 299 colored pins on it, with each one representing a botched paramilitary police raid.

Death of an innocent. Death or injury of a police officer. Death of a nonviolent offender.
Raid on an innocent suspect. Other examples of paramilitary police excess. Unnecessary raids on doctors and sick people.
