In November 2012, the local police department for the small town of Keene, New Hampshire announced the acquisition of a ballistic-engineered armored response counter attack truck, more affectionately called a “BearCat,” from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Meanwhile, local police in the small town of Cary, North Carolina taught a training course entitled “Warrior Mindset” to its incoming class of officers. In February 2013, a New Haven Police Department Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team used a battering ram through a single family’s front door, shooting a flash-bang grenade to temporarily blind the family while it executed a search warrant for drugs. No drugs were found.
