The solution does not begin at the federal level, but for the individual states to pass “police de-paramilitarization laws”. Until this is actively debated at the state level, the worms in the woodwork who have been pushing for police paramilitarization all these years will stay hidden.
Lindsay Graham made a TV speech just a few days ago, calling for even more paramilitarization of the police at all levels, but especially the federal level. So he is definitely in the wrong column with this.
But his allies must be revealed. They like to hide their push for paramilitarization in defense and homeland security bills, but the light needs to be shined on them.
I hate it when there’s a game on and no team to root for.
I have seen photos of police with face masks as they did not want to be identified. Dress all in black or camo gear. Add in attitude.
$4.2 million dollar mistake. Luck only played a part that these 2 ladies or the guy were not killed. Imagine full auto.
Police opened fire on this blue Toyota Tacoma pickup truck and another pickup in Torrance, California

Agree with this. I’m not sure I’d agree with his implementation.
Yes
Is Sen Paul pandering?
Yes
But, more importantly: Are Sen Paul's current positions on police militarization, non-violent offenders, and mandatory minimums consistent with his past positions?
Yes.
One may disagree with Sen Paul on the issues. But I for one have more respect a consistent politician I disagree with, than someone who changes with the political winds.
