America's local and State police forces, nationwide have been pumped-up into paramilitary forces with Federal government money starting in the 1970's under Nixon. This flood of federal money continued under Reagan, the ostensible reason given for the surge was the "crack" epidemic; the ongoing "War-On-Drugs" that Nixon started. Clinton followed Reagan-Bush and increased local and State police funding even further with his so-called COPS program in 1994. But the definitive game changer that put funding of local and State police forces on $$$$$$$$$$$$$ steroids were the events of September 11, 2001. Following 9/11 an entire new "national security state" was created (Dept. of Homeland Security) and existing law enforcement agencies engorged themselves in the bonanza of $$$$$$$$$$$$ that the federal government was providing under the banner of "anti-terrorism". All police departments got some of the money, it didn't matter if it was some 200 member police force in the middle of cow chip fly over country. New York City predictably got the most money. They bought everything, tanks, shoulder fired missiles, submarines, attack helicopters, night vision goggles, nuclear and chemical weapons detection sniffers, robots, etc. The other police departments coast-to-coast tried to emulate New York's 35,000 police forces tactics - even if they had no need for such equipment. This militarization of the nation's police forces will continue because the contractors who sell this stuff to the cops have used their profits to <s>Lobby</s> bribe federal legislators to make sure the federal dollars continue to line their pockets. Unfortunately most police officers are completely untrained on how to handle all this military style equipment, so innocent people will be killed.
