[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 2748910, member: 3448"] I've casually followed stories about the militarization of the police and as I see it the debate has not been whether police should rifles, armor, or specialized equipment but rather how they are used. I have no problem with local police or a community having an arsenal that can be accessed when necessary. What concerns me is are SWAT style raids when a knock on the door or an arrest at a safer location may have been effective. I wouldn't pretend to know what the police "need" nor am I an expert on the best tactics to employ in special circumstances. I think they need whatever is necessary to get the job done. But citizens questioning the tactics that are employed is not a bad thing and should be directed at those in command rather than the officer putting himself in harms way. [/QUOTE]
