I found this amusing.

I ran into a friend of mine last night. He's a local cop and great guy. We talk politics and history from time to time. At one point in the discussion I said to him, "I like you and all, but I don't want the police state that seems to be coming." He replied, "No offense taken. I don't need the overtime."

You should ask him what experience he has with Fed police agencies and what the relationship of his local force is to the Feds. I hope there is resentment and tension over the usurptation of power between locals and feds. But I fear that the situation is such that local police management is co-opted by the Feds and that they subordinate themselves to the Feds willingly in hopes of being tapped for career advancement into the Fed ranks.

I already have. The local cops have gotten announcements, but he's never had any Fed 'training' himself. He's also reluctant to say much more about it for the obvious reasons.

What worries me (and this cop) more about my local police force is that of ~125 cops, less than a third are from here. There's been an unwritten policy for the past 10 years or so to replace local retiring cops and new positions with outside help. It's the old Bolshevik tactic of using foreign troops to keep an eye on the locals.
