Robert, if you uniform and arm the police like the military, they'll act like the military. Then mix in an institutional "us vs. them" mindset and you have a recipe for a police force who are seen not as a public service but an armed force that bullies, threatens, beats and kills anyone who gets in their way.

I hope you find it in you to read this link to Radley Balko,

He is not of your political persuasion but there is plenty of Occupy Wall Street / far left commenters saying the same things. For instance, from the NYT and from the Nation

Whatever. When there are redneck loonies like some/many on this board that have huge arsenals, what are the "normal" police going to do? They are going to be out gunned in many cases. Just let the crimes that may have occurred go because they are outgunned?

Beep beep, here comes help!

Well *******, if we didn't have a bunch of ******* lunatics with arsenals of weapons, you wouldn't need SWAT teams.

Maybe we should take a page out of Chicago's play book, and elect a bankster mayor so we can declare bankruptcy, and pass more gun control laws, so our streets can be overtaken by hood rats and we can live in a war zone.

God bless Texas, and our "lunatics" with our "arsenals of weapons".

Ah. Was trying to figure out where you reside. Not at all surprised you live in Texass. Another pathetic right winger that is afraid of everything and everyone.
