26475, The LAPD has been militarized, though... Posted by speaker, Thu Nov-11-04 10:31 PM
They use military choppers to find drug dealers. They have used tanks to attack black panthers, in addition to the usual headline-making drug busts. Other police departments across the country have been using army equipment for decades as well. When inner-cities get like war zones, the government has an excuse to expand its control/repression infrastructures. It's only when some middle-class protestors get fucked with that people notice. That's the sad part.
