Yes, I think the Bush Doctrine is being applied to more than just the military at this point and it is very frightening.
I grew up as a military brat, most often in small towns where members of the police were viewed as "good guys" who would provide help if needed and usually had a personal connection to someone I knew. To see our military and police force head in this direction is terrifying, especially since if inquiries are made and charges of misconduct filed, the rank and file will be punished for a problem that originates much higher up the chain of command.
