I was recently attacked for criticizing police militarization - specifically the city of Bloomington's failed attempt to acquire a Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle - because I am taking a position divergent from President Donald Trump. (Trump reversed Barack Obama's restrictions on selling military equipment to police.) The idea that we cannot dissent on policy grounds from the Trump is dangerous and represents a cult mentality. I have opposed police militarization for many years now, years before Trump ever ran for President.
