Just since 2006. And this does not include funds transfers from Federal LEO/Agencies.

It's too much.

We cannot be a free people with a Standing Army in our neighborhoods and on our streets.

Tacticool has become VERY dangerous.

Defund your local LEO and protect yourself.

Unfortunately, some police departments need serious hardware these days. Now, small town police departments don't need MRAPS and so forth, but in a place like Ferguson, thick with violent gang types and other assorted trash, the its a different story. Its a sign of the times. Would the police be able to keep the riots at bay if they didn't have some intimidating deterrent force?

What are the BILLIONS of ammo they’ve been buying up FOR..?

I think they should sell it off —they should have the minimum, and maybe a little more.

This is nuts.

Every congress person is an enemy of the people. I want one congress jerk to explain to me why local cops need mine resistant vehicles. Why not sell them to our allies?

Another viewpoint: It was nice of the government to place all that useful hardware in local places so the patriots can commandeer it easily when the time comes to purge the country of the tyrants and their minions.

The armoured vehicles are meant for the Bible and gun owners.

Interesting. My local news is reporting on this right now in Columbus OH. The sheriff of a local county just said that militarized equipment and armored vehicles were offered to them, virtually free, by the Department of Defense. They took them and with hardly any cost to the county. Why in the hell is the federal government supplying locals with this type of equipment?

I’m reading reports now since the non-camo wearing, non MG pointing state police have taken over, things are starting to quiet down a bit. Tacticool is way over done by police. Police shouldn’t have guns anymore. They don’t know what they’re doing. That’s the real sign of the times - the stupid.

Here's a (recruitment?) video that is reported to have been on the main page of the Doraville, GA police department website:

Be sure to have your sound on. You don't want to miss the soundtrack.

Doraville has a population of 8,500.

Just this evening I came upon, in the opposite lane, what looked like a very minor fender bender. The two civilian vehicles that had been involved in the incident were surrounded by county squad cars, blue lights flashing, and officers all over the place dressed as if they were about to take a spacewalk.

I kept driving, but felt very intimidated by the scene.

the problem in ferguson is not the police

It’s black culture and the criminal underclass it creates in hundreds of cities and suburbs across America.

Jeez If you’re on the same side of this as Jesse and al then you F-ed up somewhere, big time. Think again dummy.

The Federal Department of Civilian Control depends on overwhelming numbers and force. If three disobedience events happen at the same time, it will fall apart. As soon as the masses of underpaid welfare recipients learn this fact, they will apply the “pile on” tactic. It may already be happening, judging by the way the FDCC has been attacking the press.

They militarized goons of Obama's Private Army really want to shoot this dog.

Remember Watertown MA?

Here is a quick lesson for them:

This is an acceptable Police presence.

This is tyranny.

These surplus goods should be auctioned off to the highest bidder, public or private. What’s the FedGov doing giving away my hard earned tax dollars?
