It's not that complicated, group mentality does indeed drive human behavior.
So, if you dress up folks like Soldiers, in military gear, they will act like military and will in fact view the general public as the enemy versus their real role as peace keepers who are entrusted with the law and the Constitutional rights of this nations citizens.
EVERY SINGLE writer of the Bill of Rights DID NOT want the Federal Government to have an "Army" nor to have such power over this nations citizens, PERIOD.
Exactly. It's a matter of semantics. The Founders would have no trouble at all identifying what we term "police forces" and armed "Federal Agencies/Bureaus" as professional, domestically deployed, standing armies, operating at the behest of various levels of government and exercising powers over the nation's populace. The only thing they feared more was a central bank issuing our nation's currency. We now have both. No wonder our steady progression towards tyranny and despotism.
