Until recently? The police were getting Military grade hardware handed to them.
By what I see? They took to Military Tactics and mentality to justify the equipment.
It's no longer Serve and Protect the public.
It's Serve and Protect our interests.
Interests being the Police themselves.
I am highly suspicious of even the Local LEO now.
Where a few years ago I considered them friends.
I've seen the ones I trusted quit the forces over things like this.
