  2. A lot of people say the police are becoming too militarized. I disagree. They are much, much worse. I used to be in the Marines and as much as there is to criticize about the military, if you roughed up a reporter you'd face court marshal and the penalty would be severe. I bet these officers won't even get put on paid leave.
