I'm old. When I look back at the freedoms I had at your age, freedoms you'll never likely experience, it makes me beyond sad. Without the crippling fear of each other that has been promoted by the media and politicians in the past few decades, we would still be free.
If politicians have an actual fear of a tyrannical government why do they
continue to militarize the police?

I’ve always wondered this. But I think they’re fine with the tyrannical government. It’s liberal government that they’re afraid of.

This started in the 90’s w/ gang violence and their acquisition of automatic & semi-automatic weapons. The police then were outgunned.

And ammo-sexuals, who claim they have weapons to fight a tyrannical gov't, all seem to support the militarization of the police. They make no sense.

“This separation of government from people, this widening of the gap, took place so gradually and so insensibly, each step disguised (perhaps not even intentionally) as a temporary emergency measure or associated with true patriotic allegiance or with real social purposes.”
