I think people are sick of departments getting more funds and buying mine protected vehicles instead of sending officers to deescalation refresher classes.

Most of those military vehicles are actually extremely cheap, they are given to the police by the military when the military no longer needs them. I think this was partially as a response to the north Hollywood shooting, where two bank robbers outgunned the police and injured a couple dozen officers and civilians before being killed.
