Studies show police militarization leads to more killings by cops, and researchers say the true numbers of military items going to police departments could be much higher, as other army gear purchases by police are not tracked by the federal government.

How Police Became Paramilitaries

But it wasn’t until this century that it became an often daily presence. In the 2000s, local law enforcement agencies began to adopt the type of military equipment more frequently used in a war zone: everything from armored personnel carriers and tanks, with 360-degree rotating machine gun turrets, to grenade launchers, drones, assault weapons, and more. Today, billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment—most used, some new—has been transferred to civilian police departments. As the ACLU has documented, this has led to the militarization of American policing.

Law enforcement has, in fact, been training for a moment like this—specifically by learning techniques and tactics from Israeli military services. As Amnesty International has documented, law enforcement officials from as far afield as Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Arizona, Connecticut, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Georgia, Washington state, and the D.C. Capitol have traveled to Israel for such training. These programs, according to research backed by Jewish Voice for Peace, focus on exchanging methods of “mass surveillance, racial profiling, and suppression of protest and dissent.” The 2018 report has prompted some cities, such as Durham, North Carolina, to oppose police training with Israeli security partners because of concerns about “subsequent harms to communities of color” in the US.

Everyone knew his "2nd amend position" too, still there have been surprises when it comes to actions/adopted policies.
Also, don't think we all understand reasons when position-policy mismatch/match for most of his 2D/3D policies.

So do a 4D move and vote for Biden? lol Libertarians have really lost the plot.

Biden voted for Iraqi freedom war blunder, overall does not seem better than moderately socialist/liberalized police state championing GOP-Netanyahu wing. There have been also NBCmedia reports about Biden's (alleged) working relationships with segregationists.
Who knows, there could be a credible alternative too someday ending two-party duopoly of deep neocons.

No. Keep defending the NY LIB, and vote for him because, R after his name. Instead of seeing his On the Record and nominating somebody else when you had the chance.

lol "let's pretend we are republicans", isn't really a laughing matter, I spot you from miles away.

Who else am I going to vote for? Obviously not Joe Biden. You do what you want though.

No, like I said before, I am actually doing something productive on "election" day, I will be picking little strands of weeds from the edge of my drive-way.

If you have not learned by now that it is a 2-party duopoly, chances are you never will. The way we were treated at RNC National Convention in Tampa was beyond vile and simply pathetic. I know, because I was there.

But, go ahead and do your "patriotic duty", vote for the NY LIB with the R after his name, and go home feeling good about it. Because, a NY LIB with a R after his name is so much better than one with a D.

Actually if you knew anything you'd know that even though Trump is far from perfect he's a lot better than Joe Biden. I guess you don't understand the importance of having moderate judges on the federal bench rather than left-wing ideologues. Continue with your psy-op though, maybe you'll convince someone else that voting is a waste of ten minutes lol.

Well, your "let's pretend we are republican" party allowed me to see things clearer, faster, and the reason I bolted out of that corrupt leftist organization. I don't associate myself with national-fascist parties no matter what letter you put after the name.

Start by learning what "individual liberty" really means, and then perhaps graduate to Agorist.

Vote hard, and don't forget to place your hand over your heart, and say the pledge to the communist flag. It has no interest in your "individual" liberty, and never ever will.

Thanks for enlightening me my man. I'm so glad you're here to show us all how stupid we are.
