+ repThat shit really makes my blood boil! Who the fuck do you think you are telling me what I can and can't do, benignly, on my own property.
I feel a civil war ramping up, people are tired of this shit and despite all the gov't handouts, obfuscations, scape-goating and misdirection I think the pot is going to boil over soon.
Frankly that is my opinion of why the police are being militarized. If you know the military they won't turn their guns on their own people with a legitimate beef. But the police, for as paramilitary as they love to behave, have a different mindset and are deliberately selected for such.
As an example hubby did 22 years USAF and he did not 'fit' in the police culture. They wanted the Lt. Calley type.
