How can you argue that cops don't see themselves as an occupying military force when they literally copy everything about the military down to awards?

And the equipment. Our military industry complex gives military machines and weapons and vehicles because we spend trillions on wars we don't need to fight. Sonic weapons for peaceful protests, gas guns that they fire at their body even though it's supposed to bounce off the ground. Rubber bullets kill people. They're rubber but they're still shot out of a gun. Tasers kill people too.
