@ujcmtgs4n4jqza Most of the time they are, but not always.
The State that I'm from -- New Hampshire -- trains it cops with para-military techniques. And many States does this.
I had some nasty run-ins with the police in Nashua, NH long ago. I stood up to them. And gave me hell for that for many years following.
So, I really don't like cops in the US at all.
But the craziness coming from the Democrats -- defunding the police -- scares me shitless.
All this craziness over George Floyd. Few are interested in the facts, it seems.
