Just to be sure I'm on the same page here, but you allude to "militarized police"....do you mean military police?

Whitehead, The Rutherford Institute “If we’re training cops as soldiers, giving them equipment like soldiers, dressing them up as soldiers, when are they going to pick up the mentality of soldiers?

Do we want police officers to have that mentality?...

No not military police as in MPs, but the trend of militarizing local civilian police forces, who have been getting APCs, Bradleys, Humvees, and even .50 cals, all courtesy of the Pentagon which gives it to them for free.

Oh good. Now all the gun nuts can stop their saber rattling over the 2nd amendment and civil war, because with their history they don't give a damn about the first amendment.
