Where Glen Reynolds tries a Drudge technique – on the Police

Which is to poke fun at someone declaring “Truth” by linking to their story and then linking to a story which, pretty much, destroy’s the first one:

Glenn Does Drudge On Police So, we all have seen how well “armored up” our local police have become over the past few years, and the ACLU story even mentions a town in our state, Keene.  Sleepy little Keene where the most drastic thing that seems to happen in that college town is either that the college goofy up or the local militant Libertarians decided to do yet another act of “I dare you to arrest me” civil disobedience.

Neither seem to rise to the level of “Quick, get the tank!”  But hey, when Obama the Beneficent decides to shower down tax payer goodies, it seems like the local Uniformed Police want to go all para-military and the Town Fathers act like little kids (“Look what Santa Bama has brought in his Red sleigh!”).  Free money is the axiomatic phrase we hear – all it really is is a different way to say “gimme!”  While they might all say that the country is in dire financial straits, their actions are worse than the “Gimme Welfare Queens”.

And you wonder why we’re broke?

Yet, it is that story UNDER the ACLU one that begs the question:

“All this hardware, people, training, and money and the police STILL tell me I’m on my own?”.

Heck, we ought to just buy everyone a gun, given them some training, and save us truckloads of money (armor no longer needed).
