I agree. If you have cops carry military style gear and have military style haircuts, what do you expect them to act like? From what I have read in the past few months, they appear to have more robust ROE than the real military does in Afghanistan. These guys would already be locked up if they were in the Army and did this to some Taliban villager.

Recently our military wasn’t even allowed to have a round chambered on patrol.
Kill a civilian in Iraq (a war zone) and you go to jail. Kill a civilian in a Costco and be hailed as a hero.
Yes Dorothy we are living in a police state.

One other thing, its more than gear and haircuts. Its hiring, training, weapons, culture, equipment and so forth. Everything is more military than some military units.
