Next SWAT teams need to go. Peace officers never have a legitimate use for military weapons or explosives of any kind. Next peace officers should never posses military equipment or training of any kind and should never be allowed to wear any color uniform other than blue.
This may sound silly at first but militarization of police power is the reason we have arrived at the conflict that we have today.
I agree. The militarization of police over the last fifty years should have never happened. Too many wannabe soldiers permeate police departments now who think theyre combatants instead of public servants.
These protests are mostly just an excuse to loot and an organized effort to get rid of Trump. Police abuse of power has been an issue for many years though, and its been directed against others far more than it has the black community.
Back in the 1930s gangsters with Tommy Guns far outgunned police forces. Cops responded with heavier weaponry. Now they have to deal with ARs and MAC 10s.
