I understand NBC= Fake News to some, but the article explains some of the recent changes to the 1033 Program. There was a movement after Ferguson, MO to place restrictions on what can be purchased, requirements to explicitly stated why LEAs needed to purchase military surplus, and explain how the offers would be trained to use the equipment. Almost all of the restrictions were lifted in 2017.

1033 Program FAQ

As long as the Dept of Defense has a surplus of equipment, LEAs will continue to purchase these toys.

This needs to stop. Police officers are not military. They shouldn’t be trained and organized as such. I already have an issue with the militarization of rank within the police force

Civil liberties are being obliterated all around the country in unprecedented ways and all you care about is that someone has already posted it somewhere. Get the frick out of here and let adults talk.

Cops are already on the side of and buddy buddy with the prosecutors, judges, and mayors

All three branches working together to frick you right on over.

The next logical step was give the good boys club big war vehicles to further impose their rule.

Why I vote no on every levy possible and finally we started passing no for cops around here.

Correct. They will back whatever is power and keeps them in a place of security.
Most do not have the commitment it takes to resist orders as they are brainwashed into following orders no matter what

That’s what happens when you give these fools free meals all over town. Hopefully, one outcome of this will be small business owners not catering to these people.

This is phrased as if the problem was BLM instead of the American public's very high tolerance for police brutality involving non-White victims.


You would have a point except for the fact a super majority of BLM is comprised of pink haired liberals.

Sheriff: Guys, we're gonna have to raid and close that bar.
Deputies: Im not sure this is right, is there another way?
Sheriff: I'll let y'all use the armored cars and tank.
Deputies: We're in!

Cops are the armed wing of our government. It never made sense for “small government conservatives” to blindly be on the side of law enforcement.
