Police Militarization
In several different forms, lately, I've heard people defending the militarization of police. One person even said "well, if they're going to take guns away from our military (recruiting centers), then we need the police to be trained in tactical and military operation."
Folks, this is scary. This is how it starts.
No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!
Here are some logical arguments against the militarization of police:
The founding fathers fought a war to secede from a government that coming led police and military.
Nazi Germany would be in favor of your militarized police. It was just like them, after all.
If your only tool is a hammer, all the problems in the world soon start to look like nails (whether or not they are).
Do you really want low IQ, anti-social people to be trained to be good at exactly one thing... efficient killing of people?!?!
Who will you call when they turn on you?
When we have to take the country back, do you really want your most likely enemy to be that well trained?

It would make too much sense to arm our military on our own soil. Military is trained to press forward in the line of fire. Police are trained to keep out. This day in age, in religious war, they should all be trained and armed.
