BlueAngel reacted to Crickethill in Why doesn't the military handle large riotsWell if I look at the riots in Ferguson and the force the police use I'd say that is pretty close to the military. Also because the police are using old military weapons. And I highly critizise use of such weapons. Nobody there needs automatic rifles to controll a crowd.
When the military takes over police duties you cross a line. You ignore the separation of powers. Using the military against your own people is a typical sign of a police/military state. Look at all the countries in the world who use their military or highly armed police forces to suppress their people - every military junta in the world does exactly that. From Egypt to Myanmar to China.
We are lucky to live in a place where we have democracy, where neither the people of a country nor the government must be afraid of each other. To be absolutely direct: I think it is absolutely STUPID to even wish that the military would handle such conflicts. Some demonstrations are not only legal but also necessary to make something important happen - if you deploy the military you would cut freedom of speech because people have to be afraid to be shot.
You see all the crises in the world - everywhere where the military takes over policing duties freedom "dies" (a little pathetic, I know). In Ukraine, people protested against their corrupt regime - had they deployed the military the situation would have gotten out of control, and I personally don't want another huge war in Europe.
Also the US really need to reduce their arms build-up for the police. You're slowly turning into an orwellian nightmare. Paranoia since 9/11 has gotten the better of the US' governments and they definitely need to go back a bit.

BlueAngel got a reaction from DeputyJake in Sexy Police VehiclesHey,
Thanks .
Rear cages for suspect transport are not necessary in patrol vehicles.
If police officers with patrol vehicle respond to intervention and they must arrest suspect, they call another vehicle (police van) which is designed to transport suspect.
And if is really necessary patrol vehicles can also transport suspects, because always two police officers patrol together, so one can drive and one can sitting back and watch for suspect .
Cheers
