Not until we get rid of all dangerous foreign gangs. They are the real reason why police is militarized.

Don't care. Just like the country should not be shut down because some people might get sick, local police should not be militarized because a small number of people commit exceptionally violent crimes.

Drug cartels, MS-13, triads, even Islamic terrorists are already here. That’s real reason why police is militarized. I don’t care if you downvoted me or not, it is the truth. Then, I am not defending the militarize part, I am only explaining it. Also, I agree with you.

The police are militarized because of the North Hollywood bank shootout in the late 90s.

Yes there are many reasons, this is one. I say we start by de-militarization and then see how to address these specific problems.

Lol, how do you address the drug cartels and Islamic terrorists, then?

Step 1: Deport illegals. Step 2: See step 1.

Our porous borders and fanatical “diversity” quotas were all designed to sow mistrust and a divided society. (And the requisite police state.) Solve 1 and you’re 90% there.
