Our police force is that of a political one who acts in the corporations favor over the people's, hell look at even the Clinton Scandal, everyone knows she's a piece of stuff but they still let her off the hook because she's friends with the banks. There's also the NSA who plays the role of "supervising" the citizens activities. We're not in a police state, but we're nearing one.
Do you have one?
yeah but it's a bit difficult for incompetent people like you to understand who only want violence and civil unrest.
The top picture is an example of what first responders look like. They probably have a bullet proof vest and a .40 sidearm. They probably don't have ballistic protection for the lower abdomen and groin, the shoulders, the collar, the neck, and obviously not the head. Whatever ballistic protection they do have is probably not rated for anything for anything faster than a handgun cartridge. The men on the top are responsible for keeping themselves alive while keeping the peace during a 1,000 strong protest.
yes you are correct.
The bottom picture is an example of a special weapons team. These are the military police that already exist, except they only show up to start protecting people after 5 cops get killed and 2 protesters get injured.
yes you are correct but they are still the police.
A police state has nothing to do with how much body armor police are wearing or how far away their gun can shoot. A police state is about totalitarianism.
yes you are correct that a police state is about totalitarianism, but no one's going to proceed with one without arming their police forces to the teeth in military combat gear, in that context whatever political superpower is going to want to strike fear and assert their dominance over the populous, and they can't do that with just normal kiddos in police uniforms or else it would fail drastically.
A police state is directly related to both the political force driving it and the armored police delivering it.
Not about uninformed teens wetting themselves when they see a big gun.

pretty much
I'm trying to come to terms with the high probability that he will not be the next president.
well you got two options
A. some cunt who's completely untouchable from any laws/federal sentences/civil demand to impeach who can't even tell the truth about some emails. And if she does start doing some forgeted stuff like ruining this country's economy or some other bullstuff we still can't touch her via revolution because she'll have a goddamn private army
B. some guy who is completely touchable by any laws/federal sentences/civil demand to impeach and who is the most truthful and transparent about everything related to himself. And if he does turn out to be some tribal who wants to segregate this entire country (which he's not mind you) then we can just kill him/impeach him via revolution or federal sentence.
