How US Cop Cities are using Israeli military tactics on marginalised communities | The Stream

Critics of the increasing integration of Israeli military technologies and tactics into United States "cop cities" say the exchange leads to a more militarised approach to urban policing.

They say police exchange programmes promote aggressive methods from conflict zones, while simultaneously diverting funds from essential social services.
