Room for Debate: Protests and Police Militarization

It's Out of Control, and There's No Oversight

Kara Dansky, ACLU

Of the more than 800 paramilitary raids that we studied, almost 80 percent were for ordinary law enforcement purposes like serving search warrants on people's homes.

Surplus Military Gear Is Good for Police and Taxpayers

Louis Anemone, Former N.Y.P.D. chief

If technology, equipment, weapons and/or training is available at little or no cost, it would be malfeasance for a city or a police department not to seize that opportunity.

Control and Contain With Nonlethal Force

Paul Butler, Law professor and former prosecutor

To help resolve the excessive force problem, Ferguson, Mo., should hire officers who look like the people they patrol.

It's Not About Equipment, but About Trust

Neill Franklin, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition

What's happening in Ferguson, Mo., is not about the military gear; it's about the lack of trust between the community, particularly people of color, and the police.

Military Training and Technology May Actually Cut Risk

Eugene O'Donnell, John Jay College of Criminal Justice

In the hands of disciplined, highly trained officers, sophisticated weapons and tactics can peacefully end situations that might otherwise end in bloodshed.

We Should Invest in Training and Accountability

Donnel Baird, Former community organizer

We should invest less in armored tanks and more in police trainings and dashboard cameras, so that footage will help us pinpoint specific opportunities to assist officers in not killing so many unarmed citizens.
