George W. Bush militarized the po po and Obama only performed a slight trim.

From USA Today:

And let us not that Tom Cotton’s call to bring troops out into the American streets is made possible by have surplus military equipment in police hands.

Fucking Mayor Mike Bloomberg had Nazi light towers set up in the housing projects after 9/11 so this has been going on for quite a while.

Finally let’s remember to take a moist shit on Hollywood as all of this militarization of American cities has been driven by the idea of the enemy within, a classic trope of Hollywood.  Antifa is the enemy within, normal NY/NJ Muslims are the enemy within, Communists are the enemy within.
