With all the power the Biden administration is giving to the Mexican and Colombian cartels who are hourly smuggling drugs, guns and people across the southern border, our police need to have militarized weapons now.

Hm? Not at all. I'm deeply in the "Chauvin is clearly innocent" camp, but I can advocate for heavily militarized police while also advocating for not bending over for them.
The government must never have a monopoly on violence; civilians must be capable of being armed heavily enough to deny the government trampling all over their rights. Consequently, if law enforcement is to be effective then it must be armed enough to deal with the occasional tank-driving rando.
