Must have, I dont see it anymore. No comment.

The police don't need armored tracked vehicles, weaponized armored vehicles or aircraft, grenade launchers, bayonets, or weapons over 50 cal. So what's the big deal?

He's only doing what's best for the country lol....

[Hamshire]

Has the police ever used that type of gear anyway? I always thought if they needed that much, the Guard would be called in?

[Sneaky]

I support this 100%. I won't want our police militarized. That's how we end up with even more of a police state.

Nobody is rioting over two police officers gunned down by four black assailants though. Wonder where the outrage in the black community is over that?

Those are for his:

We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.

It only talks about specific gear that I really don't see the police needing. Weapons .50 caliber and above, grenade launchers, bayonets and tracked vehicles. It's a rare, rare day... but I support this one.

This is probably the first thing obama got right. I am tired of seeing the local police pretending to be the military.

[RoosterCogburn]

IMO this is just a publicity stunt, as stated above i dont think LEO's use .50 cals or tanks

Everything.........is not a emergency or a national diaster.

I think if most stepped back for a second.......just a half second.........it is not even a discussion.
