Maybe because of people like you, armed to the teeth for no rational reason whatsoever?
Yes, cops need tanks to beat AR-15s, not because they're an occupation force that exists to ensure the oligarchy can't be threatened.
You don't need an APC to beat rifle fire.
That they're terror weapons, not a reasonable counter to small arms, which have existed for decades in the form of armored SWAT vans and reinforced patrol car bodies for a fraction of the price.
I always find the self righteousness of bootlickers fascinating.
Why are you more interested in excusing the boot and disarming the people rather than asking why the funds can't be spent on stopping the circumstances that create violence before it starts?
