Americans Are Drawing the Same Conclusions About 1st Amendment Protest and Warfare Tactics of Police

after many years of exercising democracy against fascists militia forces. Who allows police to be in a position of warring? Why would taxpayers pay local police to do this? All city, county and state employees have a public work application and usually a resume. When they are dismissed that record should go with them or come with them, which ever is the case.

This is a long piece spanning several decades.

One fights the enemies of the state,the other serves and protects the people.

When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.
