ya. i think the intention is to scare protestors, but really it just ups the stakes for everyone involved. protestors get nervous about what could happen, so they're on their toes. police get nervous because the "need" for military stuff has them on their toes for same reason -- what could the protestors do that'd justify this tech? both a rhetorical and non-rhetorical question

i fr think that such a presence factored heavily into some of the riots that got more out of control last year. i'm not sure how such could be toned down while establishing a similar level of controlling presence bc i aint familiar with all the tech the police got. in general i agree with you there
