Ever since 911, there has been a trend moving toward much harsher local police. Here is a photo of how the Boston Police have militarized to the point it looks like war against the people. Even small towns are geared up for war.
The small town of Medford, Oregon with a population of 76,462 has spent millions of dollars to militarize their police. They have their own Swat Teams, yet no incident in history of some major shooting of such a nature to warrant a Swat Team. The entire reason where there was the Second Amendment was to eliminate this very threat of standing armies. We are seeing the abuse of force at every level. Medford Police bought a new vehicle that some say could survive a so-called the apocalypse. They used their Swat Team to go after a mere carjacker.
Medford, New Jersey with a population of just 23,033 also has a Swat Team. They rushed in and held two white kids on the ground at gun-point for shooting potatoes into a lake setting hair spray as the propellant.

Geee when I was a kid, the biggest brewing problem was Haffenreffer Green Death.
Guess they are all asleep. Guess we will be here for just one day. Can’t wake them Kart.
“Brewing Problem”, or “Problem Brewing”??
How did we not DIE from that skunk piss.
We need to promote all the unionized policeman of this calibre to a special Border Patrol unit and let them crack heads at that site. Let’s be resourceful.
I am of the opinion that SWAT teams should only be authorized and be responsible to elected law enforcement. Namely, Sheriffs departments and possibly State Police departments.
Further, I am of the opinion that there are entirely too many no-knock warrents issued. Such warrents should only be issued by elected judges and then only when the Police can show reasonable cause for concern for the lives of the citizens such as in suspected hostage, murder or abuction situation.
It’s been deliberately brewed by the Democrats, and Ubama turned up the heat.
The Patriot Act ruined America. There is nothing “Patriot” about it.
I'll say it was this morning. They say we are blind.
The ferals need to be deported then, oh wait no border
Saw it flying low ...
Great thought .. Only a few know what it means to look at the mirror on the wall.
Let me tell you the truth ... obama, hillary and their crowd aka the lame-stream don’t care if you or your children live or die. How many will hear?
It hangs out Baby! So let them Sue?
Bananas?
Back in 1970 Conspiracy theorists were warning of the government desire to have a FEDERAL POLICE FORCE.
Looks like we got it now, want it or not!
The only problem are the spoiled minorities who were taken in and later freed, without having to build this country. Then now they screech about how the US is oppressing them, despite our attempts (and trillions) to help them. Yet, they refuse to help themselves. We can’t win anymore and the only reason the US is on tenterhooks is because we have to tiptoe around a certain 13% that refuses to settle in and end up being part of this country in a positive way.
