Local police have become more militarized and have the fire power to conquer and control a small country. The police stations get the mindset of “us vs. them” and then abuse people. However many officers are not trained for some of the rare…

writes, “From someone who presents himself as a steadfast of anti-Muslim bigotry, such fear mongering is hard to square.” This claim is partially substantiated, because although he does have a little bit of good evidence to show that, it is not varied, and his choice to include dubious evidence mars his ethos.
