Set up for failure from the outset.
THERE IS NO GROWING THREAT OF CRIME OR TERRORISM.
Cop killings are on track to be the lowest ever recorded for 2013.
Violent crime is at historical lows.
Political terrorism, excepting the government sponsored variety, is for all intents and purposes, non-existent.
And no, it's not because of militarized cops.
Legalizing self defense and (some) drugs is the biggest factor I can see.

"I am not anti-police, and I recognize the concerns surrounding the growing threats of violence related to drug use, gangs and terrorism, but I am concerned about what appears to be a growing gulf between the men and women in uniform (military and police ) and the civilian population. It seems we have gotten away from the true notion of a citizen-soldier or the beat cop who was integral to the neighborhood and moved toward a much more impersonal model that invites an us-vs.-them mentality."
