Has it ever been verified that they are indeed buying hollow points? And if so, what is the percentage of the billion rounds? I can somewhat understand a bulk purchase of practice rounds that extends over some years, but HP's? Why? Hollow points are internationally outlawed by treaty and many States have made them illegal.

Also, there are way too many law enforcement units in departments/agencies that should not have such units, and this has been building before Obambi.

Your local police department has likely been carrying around Hollow Points for decades and you haven't panicked about that.

They are ideal for law enforcement because it reduces the chances of rounds passing through a perp to an innocent.

And nobody is buying a billion rounds of anything, as I've tried to point out over and over again. The entire story is a non-story.
