Default Why have American cops become Militarized

I sometimes ask myself, do I have too much empathy but then I see what most other people post and I reassure myself that I'm just healthy.

The videos of the two black guys being executed are sickening enough but how many people get shot down like that without anyone getting any camera footage.

So far this year, ten investigations are going on across America regarding cops needlessly killing black men.

But its not just black men, (though you are in far more danger of being shot if you're black) its poor people, red necks and the homeless.

This video is of a homeless man who is pleading with the police for his life. When they encourage him down from a rock they shoot him numerous times in the back and then decide to set the dog on him. Its not only disturbing, its very frightening because without a doubt its an execution.

Back in the 80s around 3,000 SWAT team raids were reported across America each year. Last year was around 40,000 raids. This isn’t because of a rise in crime, its because SWAT teams used to be used for special situations but now they can be used for something as minor as having a little pot in your house. SWAT teams aren’t just armed police, they are combat style military police in balaclavas carrying Glock pistols, 12 gauge shotguns and sniper rifles. All they need is a whiff of something to swarm your home and terrify your granny, shoot your dog (which happens a lot) and traumatize your children.

Anthony Gregory reported that “about as many Americans have been killed by police since 9/11 as died on that day.

And its not just criminals or people who failed to put a new bulb in their brake lights; school kids are being pepper-sprayed. In some American districts its fine to use a taser on an unruly kid.

Puppycide is now so big in America that thousands of inoffensive dogs are shot by the cops each year. Nobody has yet been able to take action against a police officer shooting their dog, even if it was securely tied up in the backyard.

When we look towards American style policing are we looking at our own future? I've got a horrible feeling we are.
