Why America's police look like soldiers

Why are the police bringing military assault rifles to protests? And where did they get them?
Subscribe to our channel! goo.gl/0bsAjO
Across the country, Americans protesting racial injustice and police brutality - the overwhelming majority of them peacefully - have been met by police forces that look more like an army. Officers have shown up to protests with riot gear, armored trucks, and military rifles. This is what America’s police now look like, and it’s the result of a decades-long buildup of military equipment among the country’s police departments. It began as a Reagan-era program to give police departments more resources to fight the War on Drugs, and has escalated ever since. Today, the idea of a militarized police force is baked into how American police see themselves.

    There's not a problem with the police having more equipment with varied degrees of enforcement so they can respond to threats more effectively. It's the fact that they deploy military grade equipment on the dumbest of things. You shouldn't respond in the same manner to a peaceful manifestation than to a bank assault or terroristic threats.

    I mean gas is an effective tool to disperse a mob of people, but the problem is that it doesn't distinguish between a rioter and an innocent person, it can actually be even used against the police force itself. So yeah, not the best thing to bring to a protest which can involve innocent bystanders and even children and it leaves the zone unusable for an entire day. Gas is better suited in other scenarios like siege an illegal occupation, not on the streets in the middle of a protest. Thats why, have the gear, don't deploy it on every occasion, a hammer is not the best tool every time.

    @Vengeful_Asura @Vengeful_Asura I mean it’s not really pushing imo, the trend has truth to it. My reasoning is that it probably just comes off as awkward place wise because they already stated that militarization of the police creates a different atmosphere and attitude, and then led into the availability of equipment lent to police.highlighting and narrating the rest of the quote would be like sort of briefly flip flopping, even though they do touch on how police view themselves/awareness at the end of the video. And they touch on it in the same positive positive perspective you were talking about, with a former MP and civilian policeman talking about reform.

Oh and the Chinese police... there are no riots in China, especially in the prosperous year of 1989.

    Italian Carabinieri and Guardia di Finanza are military corps which have policing roles, but there are some marked differences between basically Squadre Radiomobili and the military battalions. Also those who are assigned to policing roles does not carry any kind of military gear, only special operations team as GIS for terroris attack or hostages situasions. I do not know if you are Italian, but I think the European way of using police is better than the American one, less violent and more efficient, also, generally speaking, police forces in Europe are seen as a good presence.

The fact that there is no international law banning or even regulating the use of restricted weaponry on your own citizens still astounds me.

And our riot police (Mobiele eenheid) has the same weapons as in the United States (water cannons, tear gas, rubber bullets). And in the United States you will also find police officers patrolling on bicycles in major cities.

    Here's wikipedia's TL;DR: The Sudanese Revolution was a major shift of political power in Sudan that started with street protests throughout Sudan on 19 December 2018 and continued with sustained civil disobedience for about eight months, during which the 11 April 2019 Sudanese coup d'état deposed President Omar al-Bashir after thirty years in power, 3 June Khartoum massacre took place under the leadership of the Transitional Military Council that replaced al-Bashir, and in July and August 2019 the TMC and the Forces of Freedom and Change alliance signed a Political Agreement and a Draft Constitutional Declaration legally defining a planned 39-month phase of transitional state institutions and procedures to return Sudan to a civilian democracy. Would love to hear the opinions of someone living there though!

Since body armor is much more available in the USA (also legal in Germany, as well as rifles but they are much harder to obtain legally) , only rifle rounds can stop perpetrators with them as most ceramic plates shrug off pistol rounds. This is why they use rifles and military equipment, to deal with the higher threats.

    Vox needs to do better regarding the accuracy of terms in their scripts. They use the terms "assault weapon," "automatic weapon," and "military weapons" interchangeably, and then apply those terms to both the M-16 and the AR-15. An AR-15 is NOT an assault rifle like the M-16. It is not a military weapon. It is a semi-automatic rifle (just like most hand guns are semi-automatic). It does not have select fire capabilities, and has a fixed magazine instead of a detachable box magazine. "AR" in the term "AR-15" stands for ArmaLite NOT assault rifle.

    Well when they’re getting outgunned by criminals with murder rates out of 1880 NYC id say they needed them. Should read up on the problems police have faced.

    In all those Photos the militarized police showed up to stop protests that turned into riots, they 100% were NOT peaceful protests 😂 and don't go saying that they caused the protest to be violent, they were violent BEFORE the police showed up.

    Don’t you just love it when a brand name becomes the only product, it’s easy to understand that AR is a brand. AR means armalite which is a brand.

    Sorry to disappoint you, but the police actually have no legal duty to protect the people. Supreme Court made a ruling back in 2005 that the police are not required to protect nor save you. Police officers are not civil bodyguards; their job is only to enforce the law, arrest criminals, and collect revenue for the state.

    Sub militarisation of police is essential, Though Army and police face different security threats but police also should be equipped with better security equipment and of course by abiding Law of the land along sense of service to its own people with ethical establishment. ( especially in our country India)
