a Glock is militarization? A glock is not militarization. By semi auto I understood they meant a military style semi automatic rifle because of the context of the conversation. Police may carry these in their trunk, but I've never seen them carrying one around.

I never said a Glock is militarization - I was directly refuting your assertion that (among other things) that officers’ uniforms and the guns they carry hadn’t changed in forty years.

awfully pedantic to see going from a revolver to a glock as a slam dunk.
