John Oliver touched on this in his recent segment.
The Army, is given training in Escalation Of Force. The police, who are being given all these toys because terrorists and drugs, do not have that training.
This is why you hear about the police shooting and killing unarmed civilians, deploying teargas in residential areas, and walking around pointing their weapons at people instead of the ground.
Frankly they shouldn't have that gear at all, but if you're going to give it to them at least train them properly with it first.

I don't want to see the national guard in my neighborhood, but I would rather see them than the Alameda County Sheriffs or CHP armed with the national guard's equipment.
