When they were shot at-they had their hands raised in the air & were shouting “Press! Press! Press!"

98. I agree, they are 'acclimatizing' people to seeing military forces on the streets. Stunned media

personnel will move on from this in a few weeks. Until the next time. Next time they won't be AS stunned.

We have clearly lost this democracy and I blame the press. They were supposed to be the watchdogs who would expose government corruption, keep the people informed so they people retain the ability to stop these abuses before they get too out of control. At this, it seems to be too late.

They start with poor people, minorities introducing these methods of policing. Then move on to groups that they label 'the left'. And those who feel they will never be targets, do nothing. Until it is everyone. And then it is too late.

Where are our elected officials on this? I have not heard what I should be hearing, demands for hearings to address the problem of a militarized police force in this country. And the reason appears to be that they are part of the problem.
