Those things are there to keep the policemen safe. Without them, more cops would be dead.Time to retrain our Police. Make them Peace Officers. Get the tanks and military gear off the streets. End the crazed gung-ho Gestapo tactics.
Do you want more dead cops?
Yeah, they look ugly to me. But they aren't there to look nice. They are there to keep the peace, and to not get killed while doing it.
If a few of them get out of line (which a few will, whether they are wearing riot gear or not) , is that a good reason to put ALL of them at risk?
Make them Peace Officers. Train them to better interact with Citizens and promote peace. All this Militarizing is only gonna promote more violent civil unrest. The People are beginning to resent it.
