Human-rights advocates blast San Antonio police for going to Dubai competition

by Sanford Nowlin

The San Antonio Police Department is drawing fire from human-rights advocates after it participated in a SWAT competition that also included law enforcement groups from countries with poor human rights records, Texas Public Radio reports. SAPD last month took part in the UAE SWAT Challenge, an annual event hosted by the Dubai Police in Dubai, which drew police units from some 70 countries. Some of those countries, including Russia, China and the Philippines, have faced scrutiny for human-rights violations and extrajudicial killings by law enforcement officials, according to the report.
