    We've decided, as a society, that local police forces need greater armor capabilities than an invasion force in 2003.

        @AlexHortonTX When did we as a society decide this?

        @philrodo We vote for the representatives who allow it. We pay taxes. We let it happen.

        @AlexHortonTX I have yet to hear a pol campaign on militarizing the PDs. I bet such a campaign wouldn't go too far...

        @philrodo I forgot for a moment that boomers don't take responsibility for anything.

        @AlexHortonTX Really, now? Do you only know how to debate using personal attacks? Point the pol who has campaigned on this issue...

        @AlexHortonTX @NatashaChart we didn't decide that. The federal govt and their "war on drugs" decided that.

        @NatashaChart Oh sure. I'm only saying that was where the militarization started - bribing police chiefs w/ equipment to support WOD.

      @AlexHortonTX it doesn't seem like the general population decides anything these days

      @AlexHortonTX I would argue that we have decided there is a lower rate of acceptable losses than in the military . . .

      @AlexHortonTX the problem is that we have not decided this as a society - a small group of people behind closed doors decided it for us

      @AlexHortonTX Wow, that really puts things in perspective. It's overkill 3000.
