There's been lots of evidence of police militarization for about a decade or two now (think about how many SWAT raids occur now vs 10-20 years ago). The use of excessive force is becoming more and more commonplace. First it was "less lethal" equipment that was all the rage, now I guess the lethal stuff is making a comeback, in numbers never seen before.
This is the birth of a police state. George Orwell predicted this. Bread and circus is no longer an effective way to control the vox populi, so now the boots stomping faces are becoming the new method of control.
