U.S. needs Peace Officers not Militarized Police, comments?



How would this end up being different from today? Would it mean removing guns from the police? Would American police even allow that given that we have such a highly armed society?

While I agree with the point, I don't know how you define what you mean, and then how we get there. I can definitely see getting rid of lethal weapons as a good step, but they'd need some support like SWAT for situations like what happened Friday.


replied under new submission 'Peace Officers Not Militarized Police' thank you.
