I totally agree with your premise, that militarization of cops is a horribly wrong approach
to policing, counter to all the "community policing" rhetoric .. but ..
I must admit, if I imagine being a cop, and seeing a pissed off late-teen saying "Cops beware!
.. I hate Police. I have explosives! Evansville will feel my pain." I'd be pretty damned alarmed,
so I'm not at all surprised that they responded somehow to this; but unfortunately they way
OVER-responded.
