lol That is EXACTLY why we don't! ...and why the 1st and 2nd Amendments are the cornerstones of the Bill of Rights! Separation of Church and State, Freedom of Speech, and keeping local law enforcment local! Hands off our guns and our people, Feds! Throw in Posse Comitatus for good measure.Lots of countries use their military for law enforcement. France has used them continuously for about a decade to combat terrorism.
Italy uses them for border control and some police functions.
The UK doesn't use them on a permanent basis but they use them frequently for terrorism and sometimes crowd control. Japan uses them for crowd control and sometimes to protect infrastructure. Canada uses them. This doesn't automatically lead to despotism.
The US is a No Tyranny Zone.
