The militarization of American police units would tell a different story as to the appropriateness of the metaphor. And don't try to distract from the point by implying I'm just an "anti-war-on-drugs activist". You have no idea who I am, how I feel on this topic, and why I feel the way I do. Do you have a real argument to make for turning every police force in the US into paramilitary organizations?
