I am going to tell you why I think it is a mistake to turn down military gear for police departments.
That gear is as close to being in the hands of the people as it could possibly be without giving it directly to the people.
Not all cops and people woking for the cops are fans of slavery.
Folks the three choices are:
1. Do nothing and resolve yourself and your families to being slaves or maybe serfs of the empire and the emperor.
2. SECEDE.
3. And if this is your choice then you will want that military gear within arms reach, Revolution aka civil war.
Choices one and three are not options for me.

Excellent Point!
The problem with military gear is that it requires too much rear area support. If the tires aren’t a common tires then one flat and you have a pile of scrap metal. If the engine isn’t a common one then same thing if any part fails. When it comes time to change the oil and air filters if you can’t get replacements at the NAPA auto parts store then you’re in trouble once more.
If the vehicle is top heavy, how many drivers in your town are fully capable of knowing just what side incline will the vehicle safely traverse? Have you ever driven a two ton truck that weighs as much as a ten ton truck? With armor plating that’s what these things are like.
If we ever do have CWll (and I pray we don’t) let the military operate the military equipment and let us civilians determine how to mess with their supply lines.
“That gear is as close to being in the hands of the people as it could possibly be without giving it directly to the people.”
Yep, I agree. And easier to get to AND BURN.
