Blazzen]You guys took small part of what I said and dissected it and then didn't address any other parts. Way to go.
If it was unclear, I wasn't talking to you. I was just making a random, irrelevant remark. But I think this whole "militarized police force" theme is hot air. Most of the people that bring it up can't even articulate what it means to have a "militarized police force" or how that would differ from a "non-militarized police force", or exactly where the line separating the two should be drawn.
Similarly, just a remark but I was pretty jelly when I found out my CHP buddy gets paid about $85 an hour to sit on the side of I-5 during the night construction and watch movies on his tablet.
