    Military tools and weapons are for the military. If a police department is facing a situation requiring this level of equipment/firepower, it's a job for the National Guard or a federal agency, not them. Policing and warfare are very different; local law enforcement can't be expected to switch back and forth between these roles - they need to focus on protecting and serving, not combat.
