He made it a little more bureaucratic, with more paperwork. But the militarization didn't stop, maybe slowed down. But most departments already had their goodies. My local police have Humvees with flat tires and rust forming on them because they had the good sense to realize that even though they were given them for free they really had no use for them and they just sat and probably don't run at this point. Check this out scary stuff don't know if he is correct but scary. http://theantimedia.org/police-start-getting-shot/ Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-41201275315809719882016-07-11T10:36:10.493-03:002016-07-11T10:36:10.493-03:00I couldn't disagree more.

Under the Obama Administration police have be forced to return many of the heavy tank like vehicles they got from the Bush Administration. So please stop blaming the Obama Administration for this problem. <br /><br />I do agree ever since the police have been militarized that their behavior has become far more aggressive. This MUST stop. This isn't nazi Germany, yet. There is no good reason for police to be armed the way they are because unlike the military, there are no protocols for the use of this equipment. They just pull it out whenever they want for any reason they want. http://www.wisn.com/news/armed-agents-raid-animal-shelter-for-baby-deer/21272108<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-88920519169992374112016-07-10T18:48:19.081-03:002016-07-10T18:48:19.081-03:00The President can moan all he wants about police b...The President can moan all he wants about police being too heavy handed towards blacks and minorities, but he shares a great deal of the responsibility for their misconduct. Over the years while Obama has been in office the unrelentless trend to add a military component to police forces across the nation has continued to ramp up. Many people see this as the governments way to extend control and power over the masses in case of a civil uprising in the future.<br /><br />More and more we see those paid with our tax dollars driving aggressive macho vehicles and strutting around in black uniforms with a swagger of intimidation. It seems that the mission of police in America has morphed from "serve and protect" to "fighting a war on crime" to one mixing in elements of maintaining order and searching for a terrorist under every bed.

My guess is things will get worse. The implosion of the US will slowly continue. If Trump is elected expect race relations to get even worse. If Hillary is elected expect more war and death over seas maybe even a war with Russia or China. Neither will do anything to rein in the police. The police are the most visible part of the power structure that controls the people. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
