If we would mount RICO prosecution of the money behind the riots, we would need fewer policemen.
Might get hit on my opinion on this but that’s ok.
It WONT be used on antifa or BLM
The largest forces are in liberal areas run by liberal mayors.
Police just attack who they’re told to attack.
BAD idea and I think the founding fathers would not like it.
I’m not cheering this.
That equipment will be used against us.
Some police departments already have these tools.
Having been involved in a situation where an armored vehicle was used, it was really nice to see it there.
If Berkeley, Baltimore, Charlottesville has proven anything, its the many cops are just bureaucrats and if their political paymasters tell them let people riot, they will let people riot, and if they tell them to run a certain group over with their armored car, they will run that group over with their armored car.
If Obama’s arranged riots in Ferguson had any purpose, it was to put America’s 3000+ local police departments under some kind of political oversight and control
There was a great episode of RENO:911, in which they were given a Humvee. Not an MRAP, not a Stryker, just a plain ol’ Humvee. None of them could drive it.
In my cursory inspection of the comments here it appears that most freepers agree that this is a bad idea. That said, is there anything we can do to stop it?
Swat teams will be able to kill more innocent and legally armed citizens who are trying to protect their homes when the swat teams screw up the addresses.
Bad move.
I think Trump is just trying to undo a lot of what Obama did that can be undone without Mueller going after him.
I’m sure freepers would agree with me that Obama’s adding of 97,000 pages of government regulations per year would have completely destroyed the USA when continued under Hillary Clinton.
Obama was adding 97,000 pages of government regulations per year.
Trump saved America.Trump not only stopped that but is further reducing government regulations.
Hillary would have continued those Obama policies. That would have turned the USA into Venezuela in a short time.
People have no clue that this happened or if they do , do they even get it that government regulations were choking businesses.
Trump reducing government regulations is why the economy is improving so much. I guess only people that run businesses realize this.
America , freedom ,property rights etc. last as long as Trump is president , not much longer after that.You are cutting off your own head if you don’t fight for Trump.
I don’t think even rational people could disagree with stop ing that except for democrats who love regulation.
That's all out the window now. Can't tell civilian police from military these dayz.
