    What can I do to bring the perpetrators to justice ?

    Dear Glenn,

    thanks as always for your excellent work.

    What can I do to bring the people who invaded these homes to justice ?

    We fought a war of independence partly because of armed men invading

    our homes. I want the names of the armed uniformed men who assaulted

    these citizens, and I want them to be criminally charged. How do we do this ?

    Of course I will continue to support the ACLU to defend the victims.

    But what do we do about pursuing the criminals ? I don't simply want

    the politicians to be embarrassed. People should know that if they invade

    americans' homes and point semi-automatic weapons in our faces, they

    will have to go to jail. This is the only deterrent. There is a whole police/ political

    class that has never seen any democratic feedback. So they are in effect

    not part of the democracy.

    These people have brought Iraq back to america, into our homes.

    I cannot accept this.

    best,

    Joseph Walsh, previous Minneapolis resident

    p.s. They were wearing masks, so they were aware of their culpability.
