Why is it that the police are looking more and more like military? I thought the military weren’t supposed to be police.

Yes, there's a law that says that. But, these clever legalistic government types have noticed that the law doesn't say that "the police aren't supposed to become like the military."

All that SWAT gear is federally funded.

Militarized “law enforcement” is the “standing army” our Founders feared.
