Civil Libertarians today are decrying the "militarization" of American
police forces. Meaning that police departments in every jurisdiction seem to
be increasing equipping themselves with riot gear, body armor, SWAT teams
and even armored cars. One of the dirty little serest of why this is
happening is because of the hazards of police work in black majority
neighborhoods. The unrest and street violence in Ferguson, Mo has been going
on for months now.
The police department overseeing the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, over
the killing of an unarmed 18-year-old has spent tens of thousands of dollars
replenishing their stocks of teargas, "less lethal" ammunition and riot gear
in advance of a potential revival in demonstrations.
