Here we go again? I’ve heard of riot control, but military outfitting and equipment?

The militarization of the police?

Obama’s dream unfolding - a Police State?

Seems to me riot police used to use shields and fire hoses, not M4s and mounted weapons. There is a reason the military and police are separate—when we deploy it’s to kill enemies; when they deploy it’s to protect the public?

Thugs, wannabes, and cowards are a bad combination, and in this situation, those terms can be equally used on both sides. May God save this country, though we scarce deserve it.

You haven’t been paying attention, have you?

This has been developing for years.

That nightmare has been unfolding for fifty years.
