Battlestar Galactica and the Danger of Militarized PolicingI was rewatching *Battlestar Galactica* recently, and this Commander Adama quote from season 1, episode 2 (“Water”) jumped out at me:

> *“There’s a reason you separate the military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, the enemies of the state tend to become the people.”*
> -William Adama, Battlestar Galactica (2004)
With Trump sending the military into more and more cities, the line feels more relevant than ever. So I turned it into a sticker. If you’d like the design, it’s free to use. As a subtle nod to *Battlestar Galactica*, I recommend clipping the corners.
