Since Ferguson and the protests and the reaction of the police America has been told about the militarization of police departments….and of course there are those that feel the police need this military equipment to deal with modern situations……
I for one think that logic is preposterous……but then I read a piece like this and then my feeling is it is unnecessary and pathetic….
After reading this article my only reaction was….,REALLY?
24 Armed Cops and a Military Truck Dispatched to Take Money from Old Man – Hit & Run : Reason.com.

Thanx for the re-blog….I appreciate your help…..chuq
They probably thought that the old man would attack them with his cane! Would love to have a video of this!
I am waiting for an interview with either the cops or the old guy….
The officers were doing what the brass wanted.
At what point does commonsense kick in?
They are trained just like our military. You do what the “boss” says.
If so then the brass are idiots…..there should been enough info on the man for them to know his age and his condition….again commonsense…
Commonsense is in short supply these days.
Yep and that is part of society’s problem…
