it looks like the police force are training recruits in a military manner, with military tactics and military discipline.
in effect the only difference between the marines and a cop is the uniform.
they are circumventing the constitution, which prohibits the military from operating on u.s. soil.
the cops have become nothing more than mindless soldiers who shoot first and are trained to view every citizen as an enemy combatant. they are given no leeway in enforcing the law and using their discretion for the public good.
which goes against the motto, to serve and to protect.
gone are the good old days of officer bob stopping by the side of the road and asking if you need help or a tow truck. now they are more likely to bust out with their hands on their side arm and accusing you of drug trafficking and escalating the situation.

Man oh man, you people would be terrified in France... There are FOREIGNERS marching around the Eifel Tower holding assault rifles. They are in the subways too!
Oh wait, it's just the French Foreign Legion, and people are actually glad they are there? And no one is worried about being transported to a camp in a suspicious looking Railroad Car that is ACTUALLY meant to transport automobiles?

Also, those military vehichles are usually just given out for free, and if some dept. finds a use for them it is better than storing them or destroying them.
BTW, I once had the ominous title of crowd control... When I worked at Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs.edit on 24-1-2012 by steppenwolf86 because: (no reason given)
