re: Trump expected to lift ban on military gear to local police forces

How about situations where the government becomes totalitarian? Or anytime a socialist or communist government has taken control? You see all the people screaming for socialism & communism in the US. Why do think they won't ever gain control & use the police to silence political opponents? We are already seeing liberal mayors & governors ordering police to stand down while the useful idiots create havoc. It's not much of a step to start ordering the cops to attack the conservative groups.

Great, now explain what gear the police were getting before Obama that they could now possibly be getting if Trump reverses this that you believe creates extra danger?

The answer, of course, is none. To the dummies in the thread whining about look out now if you get pulled over. HOw fricking stupid. Police didn't then and won't now routinely attend to a speeding motorist in full riot gear with "military weapons" that is a completely unfounded worry.
