How do you handle "armor"? By not getting shot correctly? Just like with the vehicle question: What is up with hating on police for having protection?
You keep going with this argument, assuming we are only talking about armor. Police are also practicing military style maneuvers and using military grade weapons.

Because, as I asked at the beginning, is it the way they LOOK or is it what they are DOING? No one has answered that. As far as the weapons, are you talking lethal weapons (the ones that they haven't fired a single time?) or are you talking about the less lethal pepperball guns, tasers, etc? Because, for the most part, the military doesn't use those.
Or is it the tear gas and smoke? Because the police were using that in the 60's and no one was crying "military" back then.
