Yes but his administration spent the prior 5 years ramping the practice up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I do not but at the same time you cannot pretend that this is a new thing invented by Trump. In the past it made good sense to sell surplus military equipment to the municipalities. I think my town still has a few military 6x6 trucks that were converted to off road fire trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well aware of the history and the article makes it quite clear so anyone who thinks it's new has nobody but themselves to blame. 23 minutes ago, bussman said: Walls to keep people out or in?

Woodtick Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Our local PD has a few. They came in handy during a blizzard. Getting stuck motorist from their cars. There was a bank robbery that turned into a hosted situation, they used it to get some of the peaple that were pinned down. They also used it to get peaple out of a flooded road. I would rather see them get used than get scrapped. They are also painted white and don't have gun mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez ryder Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 11 hours ago, Mainecat said: Trump to reverse ban on local police using military equipment Source: the hill By Jacqueline Thomsen - 08/27/17 06:06 PM EDT The Trump administration will now allow local police forces to take and use armored vehicles, high-caliber weapons and other kinds of heavy equipment that were once used in the military, USA Today reported Sunday. The Obama administration initially banned the practice after police in Ferguson, Mo. were heavily criticized for using the equipment against protestors in the wake of the shooting of Michael Brown three years ago. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is set to address the Fraternal Order of Police Monday, where it’s believed he might unveil the new policy. "Assets that would otherwise be scrapped can be re-purposed to help state, local and tribal law enforcement better protect public safety and reduce crime,” administration officials wrote in a document obtained by USA Today Read more: http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/348201-trump-to-reverse-ban-on-local-police-using-military-equipment-report yes it was much better to just toss the old military equipment in the trash as apposed to letting local cops take it . you whinny cunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obama has said we are the greatest country on Earth. Then goes and bombs the fuck out of poor brown people for 8 years straight. 2. See #1 3. See #1 4. See #1 5. Women always suffer more when the bombs start falling. 6. Media cheering when cowardly acts of murder are carried out under the direction of the President. 7. Continuing and expanding the Bush surveillance state. 8. Been going on since the red scare at least, but Obama didn't do anything to stop it. 9. Umm, TPP... 10. Lol. Dems haven't been friends of labor since the 30s. Lack of leadership got fat grifters elevated to labor leaders. 11. This is generally a right wing marker. 12. Militarization of police forces continued under Obama, just as it would have under Hillary. 13. Do I even need to address this? You gotta be about the most pathetic partisan lackey to not realize that the government is massively corrupt and chock full of cronies. 14. Election 2004, 2000. DNC 2016 primary. :Micdrop: Moto says this is a lie More worthless rhetoric from Idealistic Moto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
