The Thick Blue Club [fop.net] writes:

A municipal police force, in theory, should represent the wishes of the majority of the population in the district in which it serves. The tagline, "To Serve and Protect," is indicative of the balance struck between serving the community and often placing oneself in the line of danger [nbclosangeles.com] so that any threat to the peace and safety of the public may be neutralized.

Critics argue that the increasing militarization [aclu.org] of police departments is counterproductive and treats the public as potential enemy armies rather than a citizenry to be served.

And rightly so, because you all are getting really loud and overstepping your bounds. You will never win against us. We have the backing of the Department of Homeland Security. We have tanks, [esquire.com] bearcats, machine guns, grenade launchers, nunchuks, [wikipedia.org] and bolas. [wikipedia.org]

How could you ever hope to stop us? We will squish you all like roaches. And when our drone budget for next year is approved, we will have Hellfire [wikipedia.org] and brimstone rained upon you from the heavens!

We the domestic united police forces of America click our heels in solidarity to serve and protect the state!
