Giving the police more weapons and tools to enact violence against civilians will just further encourage them to abuse their power. If the government wants to tackle crime, they should make a better social safety net that actually meets the standards of other developed nations and pass policies to decrease poverty. Basically target the root causes of crime, over policing has shown to not to lower crime rates.

The police defend the people within the U.S and fight the good fight, If they need military-Grade weaponry to protect citizens, have at it, our safety should be held at high standards to ensure our protection.
So if police sometime in the future pick sides and your side is not the one they pick. And they start rounding you up and you resist and they use those military grade weapons on you. Is that OK ? Don't say it couldn't happen. Look at the country now...
