I’m saying that a position on police militarization that is anchored in a worldview that sees the country as doomed should be taken with a grain of salt.

Not at all self-evident.

Why don't you explain why a doomed country needs militarized police instead of greater military capabilities?

To take the thread back to the subject... policing is a political decision. Look at the word root to see where it comes from.

My political solution is to disarm most street cops, provide sufficient funding for a small, specialized armed force, and require the police to work themselves out of a job.

At some point, you just have to ignore the idiots and let them stew.

There won't be an answer to your hard question.
