I undetstand cops make mistakes, but the militarization of the police needs to be confronted.

The sherriff sounds like he may actually be second-guessing things, but they'll probably end up circling the wagons in the end.

That's why I posted it in the CE Forum. It's where we go to talk about back home.

And notice I in no way, shape, or form suggested that this was unique to America or that American culture or the American people were to blame. I didn't generalize about the American people, and I even put a qualifier in about how cops make mistakes. I cited a specific trend. I didn't even use the word American or refer to Americans as 'Yankees' or cops as 'pigs' or blame it on 'typical American thinking'. I cited a specific incident and problem. And I didn't say "But this doesn't happen over in Korea".

But by all means we can talk about the militarization of the police in other countries as part of a broader trend. I think its perfectly relevant. If we want to cite some militarization of the police in Korea, then go ahead. Certainly if someone wants to bring up police brutality in England or somewhere else, that's fine as well.
