Comparing it to Tienneman is absurd. But, race aside, are people really not concerned with the militarization of police and police overreach? For as much as people cite fear of government in connection with the 2nd amendment you'd think more people on here would have these concerns
That would be the simplistic view of the situation. "The cops look scary! Let's take away their helmets and guns."
How about taking a look at liberals and Democrats and their constant expanding of regulations and restrictions on personal freedom and property? When the media judges the success of a Congress by how many laws they pass, we end up where we are now. Remember, every law Congress or your state legislatures pass have to be enforced.
Blaming the cops might make you feel good or gain you internet cred. But it would be like if your neighbor ran an electric fence through the middle of your back yard and you blame the power company when you get shocked.

But ... There are those pesky "laws" that prevent that. Amirite?
