Many Americans have been noticing that local police and sheriff’s departments have become more and more militarized over the past decade.

The UW Blackout Movement will host an event Wednesday night on East Campus Mall in hopes of starting a conversation with students and to encourage the UW-Madison police and police nationwide to be more transparent about the military-style equipment they have access to.
