When I see this, I just keep thinking the American Government is preparing for bad times and therefore best strategy is to militarize the police because of things like Ferguson and what happened in New Orleans.

We're approaching something big not just in America but that could be epicenter.

Some of you will argue that you wouldn't like to live in India or Africa or even China or Russia, but they are much more free places than America (but only in SOME respects). And if you have more freedom you might also have less stability because of it. Then again, Alaska legalized marijuana today....
