Just a side note: certain countries in Europe have much more military style uniformed police force, including police living in barracks. None of them have the track record of armed violence the police in the US have.
I'm just saying, the militarization is at most a symptom (one of many), not the root cause for the US "war against the people".
Are you sure? Another possibility is that you're just not hearing about it, if they're disproportionately targeting groups that you aren't a member of.
The U.S. is a weird case, because there are these very clear abuses, and yet there's a culture of uncovering these abuses even when they're not happening to one's own group.
