Dennis Prager recently said that the COVID-inspired lockdowns and such are a dress rehearsal for a police state.
Pigweed and Crowhill drink and review DuClaw’s Citra Snuggy, a single hop double IPA, and then discuss Prager’s claim, and related issues.
Why does every little town in America have military style vehicles and SWAT teams? Why are our police forces being militarized?
Why are there so many no-knock warrants?
Why do so many federal departments have paramilitary departments?
Why are so many Americans shot dead by police?
I suspect that the bolstering of so-called 2nd Amendment Rights plays perfectly into the hands of militarized police. An armed public is a perfect excuse for legitimizing and strengthening such forces. Trump recently went to the extreme by threatening to control states by means of the military, but people don’t seem be quite ready for that – not yet anyway.
