So if a terrorist started shooting up people in night club with a AR-15 with a high capacity mag attached, you would expect the police to take that terrorist down with their single shot hand guns ?
As I said, more potent weaponry was broken out only when the need arose. For years and years and years this was the policy and it sufficed.
Your scenario above is a far cry from a half dozen officers serving a search warrant in full riot gear and real M4's; shooting the family pets as a matter of course and tossing flash bangs into rooms occupied by nobody but children.
I don't want to pollute this thread with bloody and graphic videos of what I'm talking about so instead will quote from a perspective piece written by Officer Patrick Skinner, a former CIA operations officer and current police officer in Savannah, GA:
-----------------------------
"When I left the CIA, I no longer wanted to fight our “war on terror.” For seven years after the 9/11 attacks, I served as an operations officer in the CIA counterterrorism center. My role in our efforts overseas was small but left a large impression on me: We were creating more tensions and threats than we countered or mitigated."
"I’m now a cop in my hometown, Savannah, Ga., and I don’t want to fight another war — our “war on crime.” But I’m not going anywhere. I’m just speaking up, to propose that we end what never was a war to begin with. We need to change our mind-set about what it means to “police” in America."
"For decades, the United States has funded and created police departments that resemble occupying military forces, unable to protect and serve. We armed ourselves literally and spiritually for a war on crime, and to quote Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, “And the war came.” What we now see deployed in many cities and towns is anti-policing. It’s the death of true community police work and, too often, the death of our neighbors. The well-documented militarization of American police departments has inevitably produced officers who see themselves and their roles as “warriors” or “punishers” or “sheepdogs.” Much of what our society finds so distressing and unacceptable in police interactions with their neighbors — disrespect, anger, frustration and violence — is not a result of “flawed” training; it’s a result of training for war."
"So I began my career as a local cop by calling people my neighbors, in my reports and in my conversations. I approached every 911 call from that space and mind-set. I still do. As I handled more and more calls for service, I began to savor the differences between my job as a CIA operations officer overseas in our war on terror and now as a local cop in what I was refusing to accept was a war on crime."
"Refusing to fight this war on crime has, improbable as it seems at age 49, become the fight of my life. And I am not alone. Because my neighbors are not just the point of being a local cop; they are how I can be a local cop. It is their consent that enables me. It is their trust that empowers me. And it is our truth that drives me: that we all matter, or none of us do."

The heighten militarization of the police force in the US is a response to the heighten weaponry force used by unlawful criminals
The National Firearms Act of 1934 was largely a response to the possession of fully automatic weapons in the hands of organized criminals. Police were getting into (and losing) shootouts with criminals carrying Thompson and Browning automatic rifles. Crouching behind the door of a police vehicle is not even a defense against the latter weapon.
That was 80+ years ago and the six shot .38 revolver remained the standard service weapon for many decades thereafter. More potent weaponry was broken out only when the situation called for it.
Ninety years ago anybody with the money could buy a BAR. Today weapons like that are strictly regulated, so I do not agree with the cause and effect you suggest above.

A few observations in no particular order.
This officer drives by an 8.75 million dollar home (According to Zillow) every morning going to wherever he goes. The affluence of the area is genuine.
Even if you write off groups like the ACLU as lunatics, there are still many older and retired police officers who share my concern. This is not a direct constitutional violation, but it certainly violates the spirit of the document.
I agree that the public is no longer friendly to the police. Who can blame them? Shooting an unarmed woman in the back (Another incident in my affluent neck of the woods) has that affect on people.
The current situation seems to make for strange alliances. There are people here on JWN who appear to be conservative defending police incidents that were soundly condemned at the time they happened by both the Second Amendment Foundation and the NRA.

Simon,
While everyone would love the tally to be zero, that simply isn't going to happen....
I'm not naive enough to demand perfection, but as a U.S. citizen, I am concerned about the militarization of the police because it ultimately puts all of our civil liberties at risk.
The separation between civil and military authority is implicit in our constitution; it was one of, if not the single biggest driving force behind the 2nd amendment; (Although that idea is a little archaic now...) and it was formally codified into law via the Posse Comitatus act of the late 19th century.
-And there are good reasons for this. If you've seen the Netflix series on Waco, then you've seen what happens when a civilian standoff is treated as a military situation. --Everybody dies.
It's not the fault of any one president or administration, but over the last 30 years of so this barrier has been gradually circumvented. The police have not only been equipped with the weapons, vehicles and gear of soldiers, there has been a corresponding change in attitude whereby police conceive of themselves as “at war” with communities rather than as public servants concerned with keeping their communities safe.
On the battlefield perhaps it's okay to cut loose with a fully automatic rifle when a captive enemy startles you with a sneeze or moves his hands in the wrong way, but that is not okay with the citizens of your own community who are not your enemies. In war maybe it's okay to toss a flash bang into a playpen where a toddler is sleeping. Personally, I don't think it's ever okay, but war, by its very nature is different and bad things happen.
This is what's broken. I can't think of any other country in the free world where police drive through affluent neighborhoods with military style rifles. (This is not an ordinary AR. It is a select fire variant produced specifically for the police.)
)
Hell, I can't think of any other country in the free world where the police routinely carry rifles of any sort and certainly not through neighborhoods with very little crime. Personally, I'm much more in fear of the guy on the motorcycle here than I am of a criminal and it shouldn't be that way.
There are several other threads going right now where graphic and bloody examples of what I'm talking about have been posted, (i.e. The police treating suspects as enemy combatants rather than as citizens of their own community.) so hopefully the point has been made.
The situation with George Floyd is tragic and maybe justice will be done, but the police response in the wake of his death has been even more telling. (If that's possible)
many of us are confused so this hand-dandy chart may assist.. .
It's funny in a sad sort of way that a number of the things Dr. King taught would fall below the black line. I've always taken a certain family pride in the fact that my parents marched with him (Before their JW days...) but suppose that would probably be included there too.....

What exactly and specifically is broken?
Are you looking for specific examples like Prime Minister Morrison demanding to know why Australian journalists were assaulted by DC riot police on live camera or a more general explanation like you would get in a civics class?
Please don't misunderstand Simon. I'm not trying to be flippant here. I don't think you grew up in the U.S. (?) and therefore didn't have to sit through hours and hours and hours of this stuff in school.
i agree with people who say all lives matter.
i think blm is a racist group.
if white people pushed an agenda saying white lives matter, some people would have a conniption..
This is from the year 2000, but you have to wonder if it is still policy in some cities.

with all the black lives matters stuff going on i was wondering why would a mostly white gb splash a picture of an all white heavenly group of white europeans.
ask some of your pimi relatives that one..
The JW's were open and accepting of interracial marriages at a time when it was still illegal in more than a dozen U.S. states under "anti-mecegenation" laws.
They have their faults but this is not one of them.
