Call me crazy but our police forces do not need to be further militarized.




Normally I would agree with that but according to RCD:

Documents obtained by The Associated Press indicate President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order undoing an Obama administration directive that restricted police agencies’ access to the gear that includes grenade launchers, bulletproof vests, riot shields, firearms and ammunition.


Why in the fudgepacking f*** did President Obama limit police access to bulletproof vests and riot shields. I'm ok with lifting those restrictions, but I am porbably not ok with lifting the restrictions on selling MRAVs and other military gear to police.

Police can buy their own bulletproof vests and riot gear numbnuts. They just like to buy the cool cammo stuff like the military has.
