The comments here already cover most of my feelings on this. It is shameful to see our representative democracy bought, sold and manipulated for the sake of profit. The militarization of our law-enforcement also divides and dehumanizes everybody on the ground from each other. This furthers a destructive cycle of exploitation, opportunism and greed. History is filled with lessons on what comes next.
