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

Gotta be sure more cops are wearing face masks than ANTIFA, only way is to release the military face gear.

Oh, they don't have enough military gear to do their jobs? Is lack of gear the problem?

Why not? In what possible situation would you or I have to worry about cops having this gear? I mean if you are someone who plans on pulling shite like Antifa or rioting and looting for some reason you have a good reason to be worried but for normal people it’s no biggie.

I love the "well just don't get pulled over" variants.

No, the lack of keeping the peace is the problem.

Does the public have access to this same gear?

If not, it is wrong and nothing our founding fathers imagined seeing take place.

Law abiding citizens deserve to have the same protections that our public funded servants are afforded.

If that is met, then I am all on board.

That’s extreme but when you get pulled over if you are polite to the cops they aren’t gonna hurt you

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.

Yeah I'm sure it is police union money and not the public wondering why the town next door has an aircraft carrier and we don't......

There is no need to complicate this issue.....folks like the idea of their town getting a tank for free because criminals are every where and gonna get us all......only after the idiot cops accidentally stick the snout of said tank through the wrong window do the citizenry begin questioning the wisdom of Barney fife having a weaponized drone to monitor school crossings......

The only abnormal thing going on in this country today is we elected a president because he would say anything to get a rise out of folks. Y'all asked for it.....y'all treated the office of president like some sort of reality tv show and then act surprised when things aren't normal.....

Plus each town gets two automatons. One is dressed like rambo. The other is dressed like hasselehof. The automatons have excellent recognition firmware.
Nothing will ever go wrong.
