Has our police force become over militarized or are the Starship Troopers here?

Is anyone else concerned that the police from Baton Rouge, LA look like Rico’s Rangers from the movie Starship Troopers? The director of Starship Troopers Paul Verhoeven said that his satirical use of irony and hyperbole was “playing with fascism or fascist imagery to point out certain aspects of American society… of course, the movie is about ‘Let’s all go to war and let’s all die.'”

I used Wikipedia for this bit of information on the movie.
