From @WilbotOsterman: Cops empty out Occupy Chapel Hill with assault rifles like it’s Baghdad. They really love protecting banks’ property This is beyond disturbing. Do they think this is Call of Duty or something? The militarization of the police force in the US is ridiculous. It’s almost as if some of these cops want to be military, but not deployed.  It’s sick.

    It probably looks extra intimidating when they all act the same with those poses.
