Ken Braun: A gun control proposal that everyone should support | MLive.com:
"required a twice-yearly report from every SWAT team in Michigan.
They would need to list the location of each raid, the legal reason for it, the details of what happened, whether shots were fired, what was seized and who was arrested. A similar law in Maryland revealed that 4.5 homes per day were being raided.
McMillin introduced the bill following the death of a 7-year old Detroit girl who was killed during a Detroit police SWAT raid on her home.
The only weapon fired was from the gun of one of the officers, who claimed (falsely) that the girl’s aunt reached for his weapon.
Yet his only shot struck the little girl in the neck.
The bill received only two co-sponsors, both Detroit Democrats.
It never got out of committee, allegedly due to strong resistance from law enforcement."
