Yes police should not have been given military equipment, yes police shouldn't be allowed to kick your door in and take your stuff, yes police are trigger-happy, but no, this is not a police state. You actually do know what a police state really is and you are being disingenuous when you pretend the USA has become one. Because the true causes of these problems are in fact the things that bleeding heart liberals have complained about for years, so you don't want to recognize them: racism, wealth inequality, voter suppression, misogyny, neglect of mental health issues, and the right wing's desire to return to the 50s by any means necessary. You pretended it was Obama's fault for 8 years and now that he's gone you have the complaints but nothing to prop them up.
