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.

    Why do you think that is? More and more riots, more and more threats, more and more crimes, more and more assaults, and now it’s moving into the county fairs, formerly fun places.

    ...”Ever since 911, there has been a trend moving toward much harsher local police.”.....
Well the problem isn’t the police...the problem is our laws that won’t prosecute the guilty. So the natural result is more crimes on the street ..because they know the laws can be dodged.

    Obviously, you’re a drug dealer, or maybe a terrorist, since you’re questioning the police.

    I noticed that these “militarized” police goobers have been real careful not to do anything to OWS protesters or the humanoids in da hood.
