Local police bristle at the suggestion that they?ve become ?militarized,? arguing the upgrade in firepower and other equipment is necessary to combat criminals with more lethal capabilities. They point to the 1997 Los Angeles-area bank robbers who pinned police for hours with assault weapons, the gun-wielding student who perpetrated the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007, and the terrorists who waged a bloody rampage in Mumbai, India, that left 164 people dead and 300 wounded in 2008.
and there is one of the reasons. when every yahoo thinks it's his right to have more weapons than a third world banana republic in his garage how do you expect them to react?
it's an every increasing cycle of idiocy that will end in a bad place and where pretty much every american is guilty.
