Quote:They have Fully Automatic M16 that's military munitions. Cobb county Georgia has a fully functional Amphibious tank that's military munitions. Fargo North Dakota's APC is mounted with a rotating turret that's military munitions. I can go on and on the MRAP anyway you put it is military munitions. That's assuming this military grade gear will always be used the way it's intended, but I'd ask you to point at any time in history where a militarized police force WASN'T used to impose a form of martial law on the public.

 

Rule of thumb, if ANY government institution has the ability to abuse power, it eventually will.

 

M4, not M16.  

 

That you think automatic weapon fire is military munitions is funny.  Basically, you are against police having armor and automatic weapons?  Again, how are police supposed to suppress an active shooter situation without tactically superior weapons? 

 

Reports are that molotav cocktails are being made and thrown in Ferguson.  Granted, it hasn't become a huge problem yet, but what happens when it does become a problem?  What happens if rioters start launching homemade cocktails regularly and using homemade bombs?  Police are supposed to let the rioters occupy an entire city and wait for the National Guard to come in and militarize the city as a battlefield?  That you feel that police shouldn't meet force with force, is a little shocking.  Make no mistake, a mob of 300 plus people is a significant show of force.
