The assholes who brought you the War on Terror after the Cold War ended in order to keep their gravy train rolling, now bring you the War on Civilians.
Think about it. We can't justify spending trillions on defense against the Soviet Union since they don't exist anymore. We can no longer justify spending trillions on anti-terrorism since we bomb the hell out of every place. The only bad guy left to justify all this warfare spending is you. Yes, you. You have to be the bad guy so that defense contractors can still afford yacht orgies. Our police are being militarized because the military can't buy more shit.
I say we have our armed forces attack all the police in our country and let the two sides battle it out for survival. This will drum up demand for the products the defense contractors supply while letting both military assholes and police assholes blow off some steam. Everybody wins, except of course, for the police and soldiers who die, but hey, at least it would be a fair fight unlike any we've fought in 70 years.
The government can even sell the merchandizing and broadcast rights to make some revenue to pay for all this militarization.

The only realistic option left for a moral American seems to be to renounce your citizenship.

It could.
Americans want weapons to defend themselves from the government (the police).
So it makes sense the police ups the ante and militarize to make sure they can deal with "active shooters" and... well, other non-conformists.
Oh, that armored police shit doesn't really work against true non-conformists citizens in large groups. Here's an illustration:
