    This is more than just the police union wanting this. They want to build these things everywhere, and there’s bipartisan support for them.

      But why would our politicians want domestic police trained to be a military force that doesn’t have the code of conduct of the military and is only accountable to the local bureaucracy?

      It’s like they want an a military force in every city that can act with impunity, or something.

      (I kid. It’s because they’re fascists, and the U.S. is becoming a police state.)
