Keene NH is a college town of about 20,000 people [including the students].
It was the cops that militarized themselves and created the “us/them” mentality. I hope they appreciate what they have sown
You think it was tough getting the cops to deal with crime before, now there's no reason whatsoever for them to do so.
This creates a third world situation for law enforcement, and for private citizens who are left to deal with someone else's criminal behavior on their own!
Best post so far.
What percentage of any jurisdiction’s police are militarized SWAT types. I’m guessing 5 to 10%. Most cops don’t go to work with M4s or HKs, dressed like storm troopers. So I don’t buy the militarized police. There’s been a member of my family of the NYPD continuously since 1951 and military is hardly how I would describe them. As far as this law, when you start shooting at the cops then you’ve put your whole family in the crosshairs, because there is one true thing about all cops. they leave home each day determined to do whatever it takes to get home at end of shift.
