Boston PD's new assault rifles raise concern over militarization of policeby Daniel Lovering @daniellovering December 15, 2013 2:30PM ET The plans to deploy the powerful weapons have triggered a major debate in New England’s largest city. On the one hand, many residents, especially in neighborhoods dominated by minorities, worry about a creeping militarization of their local police force, fearing that deploying such rifles on the streets could create more dangers than they solve. Some security analysts agree, seeing the move as part of a larger shift toward the militarization of police departments that has been happening in the rest of Massachusetts and across the country. america.aljazeera.com/articles/2013/12/14/boston-pd-s-new-assaultriflesraiseconcernovermilitarizationofpol.html
