And the Hollywood shootout?

the Hollywood shootout alone is why police now have automatic weapons

I dont know what the Hollywood shootout is but WACO happened exactly because the cops even then were too militarized. WACO was all the cops fault. They never even should have been there. The people in the compound were innocent and did nothing wrong

Do you mean the magic bomb that set that place ablaze?
To this day, I am not sure who was responsible for that.
Though I do lean towards local officials as probable cause.

waco is pretty much the perfect example of why they should be demilitarized. the north hollywood shootout at best is an example of still needing special response teams, not so any cop can be a one man army.

This. I'm all for "militarized" SWAT units but regular street cops shouldn't have access to AR-15's and shit.

Waco only proved that giving military equipment to police doesn't make them the military.

If the Marines were dispatched to deal with Waco the whole fucking thing would have been over in 20 minutes.

Do you not know what Waco was even about? Here, educate yourself;

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.

Another great example why overt police militarization is a terrible idea
