Without doubt there has been a huge militarisation of the police in many places around the world. Not just the US. The UK is now getting water cannons to keep the hoi polloi off the streets. Berkley in California has APCs etc to use against university occupying students. Drones for 'crime fighting' are on their way. The MIC is the only 'viable' economy left. Huge amounts of money have been have been poured into it in recent years. Military Keynesism. War on others and war on citizens is now a business model. It is surprising that some one as knowledgeable as your friend cannot see this clearly. Even if the Homeland Security bullets are a right wing conspiracy the rest of it remains fact.
