It is to make clear to certain & selected parts of society, that their suppression should be a permanent expectation.
Militarizing our police forces across the nation was done so to divide & control, and this is now the new world order of things.
To us who still believe we live in a Nation of civil rights & equality are finally coming to realize that those rights have already been removed & there has been built a military police force to show up with full armor & weaponry to inform us just how the system of laws really work.
Cliven Bundy armed supporters point their weapons at Federal Officers & NOTHING Happens. Yet when police are absolved of murdering or even brought to trial for the sensless deaths of unarmed citizens while taking no time to decide if their death is the only solution, then we should all realize that our civil rights, as we knew them, no longer exist.
The gradual & silent militarization of our police force has been done so, for this reason. They knew when we stood up to fight such injustice they would need a force prepared to suppress the masses.

I believe that's the goal for their pretty perfect world.
They have taken everything from the American citizens & I fear for my grandchildren's future in this gawdforsaken country.
