Police Militarization In Ferguson.

The police in Ferguson – and most militarized police forces around the country — have more and better equipment than I did when I served in the army. And I wasn’t in some forgotten-about unit on a small base, either.

The police are largely now an occupation force arrayed against their own citizens, and have nothing to do with the credo “to protect and serve.”

This of course tends to happen in oligarchies.
