I have an idea that the fire sale prices the Feds give to the local police departments is making the purchase of new toys to the cops irresistible, but that is not the purpose of the program. The Feds are pre-positioning military assets for when the Feds need them. Think the local cops really have need for this stuff and when the Feds turn up and say we are taking this humvee the local cops will protest? Not likely.
Ceasar turned against Rome in time of peace, let us remember that.
Those vehicles should be handed out to farmers or private security properties and turned into plowshares, back to the tax payers.
These vehicles go beyond the limited duties assigned to police.
This denial is some of those mule cookies Col. Potter used to talk about.
They can give the police F15 Strike Eagles and it wont
matter. If used against the general population it still
wont be enough. First they wouldn’t have enough man power
to guard it. The vehicles and equipment that they are
doling out is only good against an unprepared populace.
Once the gloves come off and there are no holds bared on
the thinkers in our country the vulnerabilities will be
exploited and all that heavy duty military equipment will
either be destroyed or captured.
Trust us we are the government. We know best.

“The Third Reich had many things going for it. Like restoring law and order and discipline. And those snazzy uniforms. And goosestepping. Who didn’t like goosestepping? That’s what we need in the US. Police might actually *need* armored vehicles, belt fed machine guns and plastic explosives. Because riots and terrorism and stuff!”
