I think it is a bunch of crap. Yes police from time to time use more force than needed, but most police do not. When the police are out numbered the special equipment makes a world of difference, i dont care how many people there are they see a tank and their attitudes seem to back up a bit. and for the people who are for this they need to understand that them using this equipment is for their protection! if these mobs go uncontested then everyone is in danger. when the police give them a little bit of breathing room things get burned down and innocent citizens get beat up. I say give them what they need to get the job done. not like they are firing shells from an Abrams tank in to crowds, the equipment is 9/10 show of force. and as far as the shields are concerned this is just stupid. if the mobs are not scared of the police, they are going to make the police use more force than they would without the "scary" equipment to deter. and from a cost standpoint if the police have this stuff they can utilize local forces to stop the crimes, if the police are not armed like they should be it is going to cost a whole lot more to activate the guard. as a former guard soldier i would rather deal with armed police who are experienced with interacting on a daily basis with people than an 18 year old guardsmen whos first reaction may be to fire when scared.
