    Militarization of the police has been a wild fucking ride over the last 40 years.

    Acorn drops and some pimple-faced teenager with a badge goes on a shooting rampage. Then we’re told he needs better training, so we spend another couple million dollars bringing in IDF officers to train local cops on effective use of Skunk spray

      by “wild fucking ride” i assume you mean criminal matter, since that’s the only reasonable expectation for bullshit like this - that it’s illegal

      fix your shit, america

            FBI, the FBI polices police, but the government made Police basically immune to most prosecution

              the FBI polices police

              If only.

              No, the FBI police under federal law. Unless a police officer engaged in interstate criminal conduct, it’s not their problem

                doesn’t need internsate criminal conduct, for example when a Mississippi sheriff killed his mistress after she got pregnant and the rest of the local police didn’t want to interfere the FBI showed up and arrested said sheriff

      to be fair, they “extra training” seems to be learning Hitler quotes and killology(the idea that police killing people is a good thing)
