I find myself in the odd position of agreeing with McCaskill but I would suspect for differing reasons.
I view the militarized police as a threat to liberty and an extension of the police state who it’s officers protect and serve. They are moving away for protecting and serving the public which was once their primary objective. Now, it is to protect the state, and it’s apparatchiks.
Why the no-knock warrants, having SWAT kick down the door of grandpa’s house, shoot and kill him as he reaches for his weapon to protect himself and his wife from these militarized invaders. Only to find they did the wrong house. Then the shooter is cleared of any wrongdoing, but grandpa is still dead. Oops. Sorry. isn’t cutting it anymore.
I don’t recognize my country anymore.
