The Pokerati blog has details on the Dallas SWAT team’s raid of an underground poker room. Scroll down to the entries around June 24th.

Looks like the film crew from A&E’s Dallas SWAT reality show was in tow.

To give you an idea of how utterly ridiculous this is, take a look at this picture. That is what took down a bunch of people who were playing cards.

Look at the picture again. Can anyone honestly argue that we aren’t fast approaching a police state?

Thanks to Paul Woodward for the tip.
