Progressive Trickle-Down in Maryland | Cato Institute: "In markets, only projects that promise a return in excess of the cost of borrowing get built. Government allocation of capital, by contrast, exalts the judgments of politicians and bureaucrats over those of consumers and investors, and substitutes political pull for economic merit in the competition for capital. In combination, this is a prescription for inefficiency, inequity and corruption."

No civil liability for deputies in deadly raid over video game - JSOnline
No civil liability for deputies in deadly raid over video game - JSOnline: "It may well have been overkill to conduct a SWAT-style home raid over a stolen video game, but once the resident pointed a gun at a deputy who had yelled "stop, poliice," he was justified in killing the resident, a federal judge has ruled."
No civil liability for "overkill"?
"Deputy Mathew Secor, who had long hair and goatee and was dressed in plain clothes, followed him. When Secor got to the top floor, he saw Brown pointing a shotgun at him. Secor fired his automatic assault rifle at Brown, who was struck by four rounds and died."
How is someone supposed to know that a "plain clothes" person is actually an officer?
