Irresponsible question

[ritaxis]

You see how Michael Brown is getting three autopsies and Eric Holder's thinking about investigating his shooting?

You see how suddenly even though we've been making noise about this for I shit you not forty fucking years suddenly the people are asking why are the police so miitarized?

Do you think this would be happening if Ferguson was quietly grieving all dignified and obedient?

If it's for the question how militarized police already is, my answer would be "get militarized yourself", but I don't know if this works out.
If police has a certain fear of citizens themselves, they don't treat them like a personal toy because in fear of the resposnse coming from the rest of the citizens.
But that wouldn't mean just only to collect firearms and hold them up high at a rally against firearms regulation or to train on a shooting range regularly, it would also mean learning the arts of war. Strategy, coordination, fighting equally under the command of a superior (despite all personal differences), also securing and organizing daily supplies as well as health care.
I don't know if American's would be ready for that... (as well as other folks from the civilized Western nations)
