There has to be an enemy if law enforcement agencies are militarizing, right?

History has taught us that militarism leads to war: if nations have militaries, they are prone to use 'em, just like Kaiser Wilhelm. Well, the feds are militarizing local law enforcement. There has to be a reason for it. What would you suppose the reason might be? Economic collapse?

BTW, it's silly to blame cops. They're ordered to do what they do. The blame lies in politicians militarizing local law enforcement and law enforcement administrators acquiescing to militarization.

Were I to guess, I'd guess that there is now in place a protocol to force every state and local cop to swear allegiance to US DOJ thereby facilitating complete and total federalization of ALL law enforcement. And don't forget that under martial law, the nation's chief executive can do whatever the hell he desires since our Constitution won't apply.

I'm okay with that, as long as they let me shoot dogs.

Aren't you paying attention? They're busy making new enemies out of the American people.

Don't leave out the cool factor a lot of cops get out of this Military Look that they love to portray today to everyone .

Yeah, well you should see the range after qualifying here...Donald Duck would do better with a water pistol.


Hence my assertion that pistols are for shoving up someone's nostril.


These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Militarization does not cause wars. If anything,it's demilitarization and weakness in the eye of the enemy that causes wars.

Think pre-WWII Washington treaties.

Who is the enemy? You may find it interesting to learn something about the impact of organized crime i.e. the drug business, on American life. I think much of the war on drugs is a patent failure but the level of threat of the drug cartels is real. Training of the leadership is the source of the failure and all concerned must be required to understand the Constitution before they swear the oath. The failure to control our borders is irrational and should be the focus of the militarized LEOs. This would be a great training location and opportunity to mess w/ people that can fight back. After several tours on the border they would be able to return to their communities and help educate their neighbors about the real threat.

The enemy is us. the US economy is based on the US Empire being at constant war. With the demilitarization of the military it has becomes imperative that the "new" enemy be someone that will always be available and easy to fight. Hence, the American citizen is the "new" enemy of the State. When you look at all the new dictatorial powers the Obama Regime has assumed it looks better and better that the American citizen will become the "new" enemy of the State not just merely rhetoric.

You are confusing militarization with a self defense force.
