SWAT team's shooting of Marine causes outrage

For once, I find myself in exact agreement with Amadeus. Hopefully that gives some indication as to exactly how messed up this situation is.

How close has the average US police force moved from policing by consent to policing by force ?
If they are policing by force why bother with police when the US military has got far greater fire power ?

I can 100% guarantee a lot of those SWAT officers are ex-military.
