To the Cops, The U.S. is a "War Zone".

That's the argument that seems to be made, at least in Indiana, for the cops acquiring military hardware.

Which whom do they see themselves being "at war"? Are they going to acquire Cobra gunships? Face it, ex-Mayor Bloomberg would have had a real stiffy if his police could have bought one.

I submit, Gentle Reader, that the police officers who view their job as being to protect and to serve the general population are a dying breed.

No, police are spreading their mission of "to occupy and to suppress" away from the inner cities to the rest of us.

The question is, are we going to try and fix this by peaceful methods and join this guy? Or are we going to wait until the cops really start actively suppressing everyone? Or will we let them get away with egregious violations of our rights in the name of "being safe".
