Only they aren't putting down the looting and rioting. Why complain about their being militarized when their being militarized seems to be having no effect?

If anything eight nights of rioting and looting might lead one to believe they aren't militarized enough.

strategy =/= equipment


police in the 60s/70s put down real riots with night sticks and peper spray.

They're wearing full riot gear and using bearcats to just lob smoke. Oversimplifying obviously. They seem a bit bipolar in their response. Dressing for war and then playing pattycake.
