It’s irrelevant to you and me. Others seem to think that any objection to the excessive show of force is an explicit endorsement of the looting and rioting.
I have no problem with police stopping looting and rioting.
I have a problem with a militarized Security Force better armed and equipped than combat troops in Iraq and a wider latitude of ROE who are armed with MRAPs, tanks and MP4 machine guns pointed at American civilians- even if they are a riotous bunch.
There was a time when water canons, batons, side arms and shields were plenty sufficient to subdue unruly crowds in the past.
Cops in military camp fatigues astride military hardware and sighting in civilians with high powered mounted weaponry IS NOT something we should tolerate in America.
THAT is what I have a problem with and so should you if you never want to see that hardware and equipment turned on you one day soon.
Because it will be.
