Should police departments be allowed to use military grade equipment?
Yes, but with strict training on how and when to use the equipment
Domestic police forces are tasked with maintaining the peace while soldiers are tasked with a searching and destroying. These functions are diametrically opposed, and should not be mixed. Police militarization is indicative of totalitarian despotism and is not consistent with a free and democratic society.
