    … denote, militarization of our community police now complete, in tandem with Soviet style checkpoint proliferation, under the guise of “public safety.” The East Germany of the 21st Century, ever so slowly does America evolve, to become the very thing it once detested –

      and, how many of our soldiers, sons and fathers spilled blood, fighting the very thing our militarized community police are woefully unable to intellectualize?
