Ding ding, we have a winner...

We just heard the MSGF referred to as a "paramilitary organization",
and not in a sarcastic or negative sense.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't want paramilitary police
organizations performing civilian law enforcement in MY community!

And that, loyal readers, is the crux of all this. When you place the
police above oversight and tell them it's ok to act like a private
army, that's exactly what you're going to get. When it happens, don't
you DARE wave your hands in the air while screaming, "I don't
understand how this could have happened!"
