Why the creeping militarisation of our police has experts worried

Australian police are increasingly being "militarised".

Front-line officers in Queensland and Victoria, and specialist units across the country, are being trained in military-style tactics and thinking.

Lawyer and former Australian Defence Force officer John Sutton describes this "convergence" as slow and worrying.

"Typically, a close ideological and operational alliance between the police force and the military has always been associated with repressive regimes," he says.

"Australia has a very strong democracy and a very robust civic mindedness among its population.

"Nevertheless, these developments are certainly concerning."

So just how concerned should we be? And what's driving the shift?

Australian Self-Defence Laws. Gold Coast police 'too busy' to answer domestic violence call for help.

How often have we heard it said, "you don't need a gun, we have the police to protect us". Well of course that is total bullshit, and the government knows it. Not only is it illegal in Australia for anyone to carry ANYTHING for the purpose of self defence, but now in the new "National Firearms Agreement" it states that it is illegal to use a firearm in defence of self and family in a home invasion. 

Our government is our worst enemy, they want us disarmed and defenseless, WHY?

The police suggest that cameras may help stop Australian citizens from being beaten, raped & murdered!!! Anything but what we really need, something with which to protect ourselves & our families. Cameras are the same as the police arriving too late to help! Disarming citizens is criminal negligence!
