Yes we need police reform & other reform in the areas of social work, drug use & mental health...we also need to realize that police have an extremely difficult & thankless job & give them a little love

I noticed the militarization of the police force in 2015 here on the island of Hawai'i. I was shocked to see the tank and the policemen training in full riot gear. That was 5 years ago. How much more have they been militarized since then??!!!
