If the police want to behave like 21st Century military occupation troops, they should expect to be treated that way. I was thinking this morning how terrorists in their guerrilla wars strike and then disappear back into the crowd. A soldier learns to watch and suspect everyone.
That sounds quite the opposite of what we always wanted here in America.
My wife's first husband was a cop. He liked to run speed traps in his own neighborhood and ticket his neighbors, his kids' friends' parents, even his own friends. After a while the only friends he had were other cops. That's when he got WORSE. The "us against them" mentality was bad before militarization began.
