“Your elected representatives are pissing away massive amounts of your hard-earned money on a local arms race that continues to escalate, with no end in sight.  Ready access to heavy equipment discourages the more subtle practices of community policing, wherein cops walk a beat and know the people they are serving and protecting. Military hardware creates barriers, and fosters a sense of ‘us versus them.’ Consider this bizarre twist: In our fear of foreign attackers, we are amassing obscene amounts of military weapons, and turning them on our own citizens.  The asses we’re kicking are our own.”
