How did America’s police become a military force on the streets?
Hmmm! I wonder whether it might have something to do with feral government grants worth millions and billions of dollars.
One of my suggestions for a 21st century new bill of rights is that no level of government should be allowed to:
1. Raise tax money to give to another level of government.
2. Mandate that another level of government spend money on anything.
Thus if the states choose to do something, they must raise the revenue to do it. I believe this would not have interfered with the interstate highway system as that was just government pooling resources to contract with private businesses to build roads. It would however prevent the federal government from taking tax revenue and creating bigger and bigger state governments.
