As far as the "militrarization of police", I think it's BS.
Can you really blame police departments for wanting the best protection (vests, armor, vehicles) and the best weapons (yes they look like military rifles, so?) in light of events like 911 and the war on terror etc. etc.? Not to mention the war on drugs. With things like bath salts and meth all over the streets, no step is too drastic.
If it saves officer's lives and stops law breakers, I'm for it. 'Nuff said.
