This Is The Terrifying Result Of The Militarization Of Police - Ferguson.

This topic was just discussed on the NBC Nightly News. I'm sure nothing will come of it, we don't have any legislators with the backbone to do anything, but it's interesting that the idea is making it into the mainstream .

They discussed how violent crime is supposedly down 53% since 1990, yet the police are becoming more and more militarized and aggressive. And a cop interviewed had to trot out the tired old line "we need to have whatever equipment we need so we can to get home safely to our families."

And the irony there is that if the cop want to make it home safe, the way to do that is not to push people who will not submit to tyranny over the edge.
