Georgia Toddler Injured by SWAT Team's Flash Bang Grenade

Police SWAT teams are coming under growing pressure after a 19-month-old boy was critically injured by a SWAT grenade in his crib in Georgia, NBC News reported. Bounkham Phonesavanh β€” known as Bou β€” is undergoing rehabilitation back home in Wisconsin this week after he was released from an Atlanta-area hospital following more than a month of treatment, which included putting him in a medically induced coma. The incident is one of several highlighted in a new report from the American Civil Liberties Union objecting to the "militarization" of U.S. police agencies, especially SWAT teams.
