I've been thinking: are the police militarised?

I think besides alpha's view on a militiristic law enforcement being intimidating to innocent civilians, I honestly dont know how it could possibly be viewed as a bad thing? Police SHOULD be intimidating. If you've done nothing wrong you've got nothing to worry about. If you will try and refer me to recent incidents where people were killed, may I remind you that assualting an officer might lead to these things. Police are people too and when in a life threatening situation, they may possibly make a decision in the heat of the moment that might result in a fatality. Long story short - Dont assualt ****ing policeman.

I live in a country where police are soft. I wish the police in australia were more like police in the USA.




Looks like the nutbush.
