Yep! The feds are culpable here, as well. It's the feds who are selling all these local police departments discount military equipment, offering grants to outfit everyone with tasers, providing training in special ops (to be used against American citizens), etc. It seems to me to be a massive, unConstitutional endrun around Posse Comitatus.
Something is very wrong when our military is held to higher standards of behavior when fighting a war against enemies in a foreign land, than our local "peace officers" are when "protecting and serving" American citizens.
Sad thing is the amount of support for jack boot thug behavior and support for the growing militarization of police forces. Believe it or not, there are many right here that spend an inordinate amount of time promoting and supporting it. Constitutions be damned. They bow to the alter of government control over freedoms via violence.
