Oh, boy. This Dave Grossman is hated in the gaming realm for blaming vidya games for school shootings and other violence. I don’t think he was too popular here, either. At any rate, I agree that the police should not be militarized.

Everyone wants Norman Rockwell’s romanticized cop in the cafe, talking to the cute little runaway boy.
