Because one military isn�t enough. We need another.

The militarization of our police is a huge problem. Especially consider the bare minimum training and clear ineptitude of so many police officers.

I find the way they dress is meant to intimidate a generally passive population. I see it in Europe too. I don't want cops looking like they stepped out of THX1138 and armed like they want to 8nvade Poland.

I'll tell you what I do know.

I know that people who were concerned about the militarisation of the police under the Obama administration will be as equally concerned about it now and vice versa because people are consistent in their values regardless of whether the party they support is in charge.

Defo 100%. Zero doubt in my mind.
