Take the transfer of MRAPs, the military term for mine-resistant ambush-protected armored vehicles. Also inevitably, mistakes are made. A wrenching example is captured in the Retro Report video, involving a month-old boy who was critically injured in May when a SWAT team in Georgia fired a stun grenade into a house that was the target of a drug raid.
