Getting ready for an inclass essay about the militarization of police.

In a couple of days i have to write an inclass essay about how militarized the police has become, and take a side on whether I think they have become to powerfully equiped or that they are deserving of this equipment. I personally think that recent actions from the police themselves show that they are not responsible enough to have this kind of equipment

I cannot pre-write the essay, only outlines are allowed. So i would appreciate any help that would help me get started in developing a main idea, argument or topics i could address in the paper.

@marts, indeed it is easier to write an essay than just outlining it, however since you have a topic it should be fine to outline the essay.

I have a few guideline that might help.

- What is the mission and vision of the police force
- what is the process of militarization in the police force
- why is this process essential
- what is the reason behind this process
- is this process necessary?
- how will the equipment help in enforcing police power and effectivity
- should this process be successful, will it sustain the force
- looking back, what will be the changes if the militarization is implemented
- finally, include your opinion on the subject

I think the above guidelines should be able to help out in outlining your topic, when writing, stay objective, know your facts and stick to it, your opinion matters too so make it sound and be heard.
