The real problem is the militarization of local police.

In America’s past cops were trained to be ‘peace officers’ - they did what they could to keep the peace (keep situations from escalating).

Now they are on some sick power trip to control the ‘civilians’ - not realizing they are civilians too - they aren’t soldiers.

I support sane cops to the hilt. The insane one’s with the ‘us vs them’ are the cause of all the problems.

I blame the training and the whole police state mentality that is overtaking the country.

True Dat.

Zer0 and H0lder are quite happy with the situation though.

Agreed.

Most of the men in my family are [or were] involved with law enforcement and none of them were psycho dog killers or terrorizers of civilians.

Most of the state and county police are decent ‘local boys’, too.

The city cops are the nut jobs.

They watch too much TV.
