Oh and that people don't like law enforcement who don't wear uniforms trying to actually enforce laws. Anyone else want to jump on the bandwagon?
I mean, I think that it could've been handled better by the ABC guys if it went down as described in the link on the first page.

However, I think their actions have nothing to do with the "militarization" of law enforcement...whatever that term actually means...

The increasing militarization of police forces gives me lots of worries, all the tacticool units out there acting and equipped like testosterone-crazed Delta Force wannabees, the tragic consequences of their all too frequent mistakes, and the near total immunity therefor which leaves citizens remedy-less, and sometimes dead.

What ever happened to "One riot, one Ranger?"
SWAT wasn't even mentioned, but I'm glad you didn't miss the opportunity the jump in....
