re: "Militarization of the Police" discussion

Police having AR-15's isn't really the "militarization" that is frightening people - well, me at least. They've had those for more than a decade. It's all the camo, the pointing weapons at civilians, the "snipers" staring through scopes, the shite loads of tear gas being hurled willy-nilly, the attitude of us vs. them.

That is true. Also, those outfits and that gear WILL change the way most of them act. Until we clean up the thugs I have no problem with them having that stuff if they would only stay in areas like Ferguson but doing what they did in Boston was disgusting,
