I'm not in favor of more militarization of local police. I see "creep" from Federal agencies and then coming in to show locals how to use their new toys. Look at all the new and rebuilt jails and sheriff's offices and rotary clip shotguns and flak vests and ad infinitum. With the new toys come agencies looking to gain influence. Prying eyes and privacy. Invasion of privacy and what's next.
Those new toys also bring a need to use (justify) them, but at what cost!?
