While the ACLU isn't tops on my list of organizations, they did the country a major service by getting this dickhead cop suspended. Sadly, he will keep his job, eventually get promoted and retire to a very cushy life way ahead of when you and I get to retire...all paid for by you and I.
The only argument that even comes close to mitigating legitimate concern and fear over police militarization is that of professionalism - to wit, you should not be concerned because law enforcement marries their military-grade capabilities with scrupulous professionalism. Watch this video and tell me if you buy that argument.
