Without commenting on Glocks versus Sigs, what struck me was:
The Police Department is obtaining 225 of Sig Sauer’s .45-caliber P220R pistols, a dozen 1911 Sig Sauer handguns and training for 10 officers as armorers. In exchange, the Police Department is giving $13,500 cash, 630 .40-caliber Glocks, 53 12-gauge shotguns, four .22-caliber rifles, 14 submachine guns, six 37mm launchers, various gun parts and 300,000 rounds of new ammunition.
Quite a trade, 630 Glocks, 14 “submachine guns”, and six grendae launchers,plus cash, to get 225 Sig’s? There’s more to this story . . .

I think what probably clinched the deal was the inclusion of the four .22 rifles, LOL.

Why does a civilian police department NEED 14 machine guns?

The rest of the civilian population doesn’t need semi-automatic rifles so why would a civilian police department NEED fully automatic sub-machine guns?
