Have you read @radleybalko's book "Rise of the Warrior Cop"? On one hand, he’s totally right. But on the other hand, I think that the militarization of police is an escalating response to the increasing willingness of people to behave very badly toward the rest of society.

In other words, and not trying to justify it, but the increasing militarism of law enforcement is a SYMPTOM even more than it is a CAUSE of the degradation of civil society. Nobody, the police included, wants to be held accountable for their behavior any longer.
