We need to rid ourselves of SWAT teams and “Drug Task Forces,” and go back to the good ol’ days of having an elected sheriff with a civilian posse. But then, I’m all for disarming federal officers, and making them dependent on local police forces when it comes time to get rough with citizens of the states.
Disarm them and depending on what agency they work for -give them vehicles only on a "absolutely need to have" basis. Let the rest ride bikes, walk or get fired.
Where I live in Florida, the Forestry Service guys are armed to the teeth and ride around in $50,000 V-8 loaded 4WD pick-ups. They're better equiped than I was when fighting a war in the Mideast.
We also have Wildlife Officers in the Gulf cruising around in pimped-out boats with big dual Mercs whose sole purpose is to f*** with boaters and fishermen who are generally minding their own business.
