Why are the police bringing military assault rifles to protests? And where did they get them?
Subscribe to our channel! goo.gl/0bsAjO
Across the country, Americans protesting racial injustice and police brutality - the overwhelming majority of them peacefully - have been met by police forces that look more like an army. Officers have shown up to protests with riot gear, armored trucks, and military rifles. This is what America’s police now look like, and it’s the result of a decades-long buildup of military equipment among the country’s police departments. It began as a Reagan-era program to give police departments more resources to fight the War on Drugs, and has escalated ever since. Today, the idea of a militarized police force is baked into how American police see themselves.

@TheSilverwolf97 Год назад

There's not a problem with the police having more equipment with varied degrees of enforcement so they can respond to threats more effectively. It's the fact that they deploy military grade equipment on the dumbest of things. You shouldn't respond in the same manner to a peaceful manifestation than to a bank assault or terroristic threats.

@The_True_Mx_Pink Год назад

@randomguyoninternetidk4014 That's still not excuse to gas a protest, especially from a country that encourages protests.

@TheSilverwolf97 Год назад

I mean gas is an effective tool to disperse a mob of people, but the problem is that it doesn't distinguish between a rioter and an innocent person, it can actually be even used against the police force itself. So yeah, not the best thing to bring to a protest which can involve innocent bystanders and even children and it leaves the zone unusable for an entire day. Gas is better suited in other scenarios like siege an illegal occupation, not on the streets in the middle of a protest. Thats why, have the gear, don't deploy it on every occasion, a hammer is not the best tool every time.

@@randomguyoninternetidk4014 I would assume most of the time it's because tens to hundreds of cops eventually show up with military equipment and incite violence.

@Vengeful_Asura @Vengeful_Asura I mean it’s not really pushing imo, the trend has truth to it. My reasoning is that it probably just comes off as awkward place wise because they already stated that militarization of the police creates a different atmosphere and attitude, and then led into the availability of equipment lent to police.highlighting and narrating the rest of the quote would be like sort of briefly flip flopping, even though they do touch on how police view themselves/awareness at the end of the video. And they touch on it in the same positive positive perspective you were talking about, with a former MP and civilian policeman talking about reform.

The response "It's okay, the grenade launchers only shoot chemical weapons" is something I don't think is a valid reason for grenade launchers to be available to police forces.

I think this video is only showing one, very narrow view of the situation. In a country where gun related violence by citizens can happen at random, and people pulled over on the side of the road for a minor traffic violation can pull a gun and starry shooting at any moment. This is a country where on average a police officer dies in the line of duty around once every 52 hours (this may have changed since I found this out), and this is when they already have access to this “military grade” equipment. I shudder to think what the numbers would be if they were dressed like it’s the 80s.

The “s” is swat stands for special, as in not normally used. Bit of a misnomer these days.

Well it stands for special, as in specialized knowledge/training. Has nothing to do with how often it is used. So technically not really

@nartinnecromancer3683 4 года назад

@@reck6328 Special and specialised are two different things. SWAT doesn't stand for Specialised knowledge and training. It stands for "Special Weapons and Tactics", as in these special weapons and tactics should be used against unusual situations (also only to protect the civilians from the offender), not against a misdemeanour of a civilian.

"When you give someone a hammer, why are you suprised that everything looks like a nail to them?"

@RebelGiga 3 месяца назад

"I gave someone a hammer because there were nails." Giving someone the right equipment for the right job. The police are given military riot gear to stop a riot and you bet they stopped that riot. Rioters are just salty that they can't riot anymore.
