Iraq: Police commandos recapture new neighborhood in Mosul
>Iraqi militarized police captured two neighborhoods on the western side of Mosul on Sunday amid fierce clashes with Islamic State militants, as thousands of people continued to flee the battle to government-controlled areas, security officials said.
Iraqi forces, backed by aerial support by the U.S.-led international coalition, launched a new push last week to drive ISIS militants from Mosul's west, capturing so far the city's international airport and an adjacent military base. Iraqi authorities declared Mosul's eastern half "fully liberated" from the Sunni militants in January, three months after launching the operation to take back Iraq's second-largest city.
At dawn Sunday, the Federal Police Commandos Division moved into the Tayaran neighborhood amid fierce clashes, Maj. Gen. Haider al-Maturi told The Associated Press from Baghdad. Al-Maturi said the neighborhood "is now under their full control."
Al-Maturi said ISIS militants deployed at least 10 suicide car bombs, but nine of them were blown up before reaching their targets. The 10th killed two policemen and wounded five. Al-Maturi added that his forces arrested two militants — an Iraqi and a foreigner who speaks Russian.

Militarized police are great for areas that have incredibly high amounts of crime, warzones, disaster zones (i.e. flooding and tornados), riots, and against heavily armed criminals. They can give additional man power if necessary during a national crisis, as well as localized and immediate help.
However, they aren't necessary for quiet towns, highways, and low-level crime cities where you don't expect to get shot. That doesn't mean he shouldn't be equipped to handle situations such as a knife wielding madman (aka pack a tazer) or a shooter (AR-15 in trunk).
Personally, I think most cops should be carrying a helmet and body armor either on person or in the police cruiser while on patrol and at the ready, but they probably do anyhow.
Shit like APCs and armored trucks makes sense getting through the aftermath of tornado, not so much patrolling a highway.

My country has it too. The GOP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Operations_Force) was formed during the Communist Insurgency and currently serves the grey area where a full-on military intervention is not needed but the normal cops are outgunned, effectively functioning as light infantry. They specialise in counter-guerrilla and jungle fighting.

It's called a Gendarmerie, Amerishits, and many places in the world have them.
They used to be the police BEFORE the police existed, and now they're just backups and heavy artillery when the police needs to call for help.

I believe that the citizenry has the right to every weapon available to the military.
I also believe that the police ought to be able to properly respond to such a heavily armed citizenry should a person become violent.
Ergo I support police militarization.
