Whatever the Police are entitled to wield, so should the People.
I think it is dubious indeed for the militarization of the Police. It's not a good thing. Of course you want the police to have the tools to do their jobs well and relatively safely (it's not a safe profession, and that should be understood). But I do not believe the police should be militarized.
Even if the criminals they sometimes face are militarized? Having military weapons available to police departments does not mean they are going to patrol with uzis or M-16s, however if all hell breaks loose, I have no problem with Police having access to the heavy stuff.
