What do you think about the militarization of police?

They will never do anything really wrong.  Ahoy matey 'n if you doesn't like dis you can walk the plank mister.

They are our guys, it's OK (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

Police are conservatives, generally, so they won't take orders to directly hurt any of us.

Hell yeah.  The bad guys need it...whoever they are...school loan dodgers or whatever.  The police won't be misused...it's  a FAST & FURIOUS world out there to be addressed.

Community policing is a thing of the past.  It's time for the iron fist.

We're creating jackbooted thug brigades.

Like liberal socialists would ever misuse the police force.  Show me where it has happened.  It hasn't happened anywhere on the globe.

I am an officer and I think it is a good thing.  We need the big stick at every level of law enforcement.

Can a dog catcher be classified as law enforcement?  If so SWAT up!

It is not a problem.  It has never been a problem. No knock is not a problem and will never be a problem

I really think militarization is OK.  Because, it's for the greater good.  To all according to their need and from all according to their ability.
0 (0%)
A dozen options?  Let's be real.  And really, there is nothing wrong with how far this nation has gone with no knock as evidenced by the similarly pure intentions of Gunwalker.
0 (0%)
No knock is a travesty and should be severely curtailed at the very least along with examples like the Dept. of Educ. SWAT teams.

OK.  So it is not an unbiased poll.   What did you expect?  ;D

It's a (needed) tool that is being incorrectly used.  While it is "justified" under "officer safety" it is deployed far too often simply because it is available and its existence (and accompanying budget) needs validation.

I am afraid that I will be killed if they enter my house in such a fashion because I will be doing my best to kill them.

We fought one revolution over this type of thing, but apparently Americans no longer have any balls.
When are you people going to MTFU and start organizing  instead of bitching like a bunch of gutless old ladies.
Department of Ed SWAT team, operation F&F, no knock searches, etc etc etc.
You must like it or you would not allow it.

Totally against no knock.

I bet a lot of no knock raids could be solved less violently and more safely to officers and innocents by waiting the BG's out and getting them as they enter or exit a no knock target.

Most are nothing but sensational BS that could be better handled with less expense and drama by simply knocking on the door.
But then there would be no reason for most PD's to have APC's and cool rifles.     ::)
