Resolved: We must remove paramilitary tatics/military weapons from U.S. police forces

I honestly cannot figure out pecan pie you are not understanding my arguments. Either your reading them and then ignoring them, or just not reading them at all. I have stated several times that right now we aren't prepared for the militarization of police. With proper training, it could be safely achieved. "I will attack his argument which is claiming that the deaths I bring up are not valid and the guy who got shot six times was a story I made up since I didn't put a source but he brings plenty of arguments like police weapons are restricted claim, so he just contradicts himself but here is my source for dozens of deaths anyway and if you research and add up from other sources as well its around 50." you waited two whole rounds to source this, it's still irrelevant, mainly because I could not have dissected this because I had no where to research this. Again, you waited two entire rounds to cite sources. It's too late now, there's nothing I can do now. Had you cited your sources 2 arguments ago, these points would be valid, but sadly they were not, and therefor they are still invalid. "His main argument is that there are some good police that need equipment (no source) 2. restricted weaponry to ensure right use (no sources) 3. training and reulations will stop these deaths/incidences (no proof or evidence) 4. equipment is only hated by a select group of Americans (no source)" Not only is this not even close to my actual arguments, I'm not even sure what your trying to get at. You provided statistics, then did not source them. They are invalid. I provided ideas, then supported with with examples. I do not need to source because I used common knowledge. Since it's your first debate, I will go ahead and give you the benefit of the doubt. "I would like to point out that I have showed what these tactics are mostly used for WITH EVIDENCE, my opponent has claimed that they can/could use them for schools, can/could use them for emergencies etc. But again in order to win that argument he would have to prove that paramilitary tactics area actually used for those things but since they are not his argument isn't relevant. That's like saying the FBI could be used as a local police force or tanks could be used to transport students to school, yes those are technically possible but its not going to happen, or at least not any time soon." Again, after 2 rounds you finally supported your argument, with articles that do not really apply. I will now note that no where in those articles does it mention the statistics you used earlier. Therefore, your argument is still invalid because you plagiarized. No where did I mention tanks, I only talked about assault rifles. Also, I do not have to prove that. All I have to prove is that they don't have to be removed. Which I did, and gave sources the first time I argued them. Police can be trained to use the military equipment for good. So long as the state assigns proper and appropriate weapons, military grade weapons would be able to stay. Are we there right now? No, all the unnecessary violence from police officers is terrible, this is brought on because of improper training, and unregulated distribution of weapons. This is the argument that proves my entire case, and lays yours to rest. You talk about the negative things right now, but like I have been saying, though proper training and regulation, it could be a good thing. Since you never disproved that training would help this situation, I'm going to have to assume you agree. http://www.slate.com... To summarize, my appoint claims that he only used facts from the given sources, yet something isn't adding up. He talked about 50 people killed a year, yet none of the sources he cited say this. So, either he made this statistic up, or he's plagiarizing. The police can be trained to be great in situations that relate to things like drug raids. Police need better weapons for things like drug raids for their own protection. Odds are, if you being detained for crack, you also have assault rifles. A police grade pistol is nothing compared to an assault rifle. Thanks, I am finished.
