The police has already won this battle; that is why this EFF page exists.

In the last decade or so, the police has successfully and powerfully militarized itself, became (again[1]) progressively more violent, began (again[1]) handling protests and dissent more and more harshly. They won this battle, partially with the help of the congress and the intelligentsia, which imported the policies that were being applied abroad (again), and they will do their best to win the next one --the one where they need to be put back to their place (of "a good cop does not enforce the law, s/he serves the people").

Looking at the current political atmosphere, where no real choice exists and politics is but money laundering, they will most probably succeed in winning that war too (again[1]).
