As the U.S. engages in a national debate over the militarization of the police, federal data shows that government agencies charged with largely administrative roles are spending tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to purchase SWAT and military-style equipment.

Since FY 2006, 44 traditionally administrative agencies have spent over $71 million on items like body armor, riot helmets and shields, cannon launchers and police firearms and ammunition, according to federal spending data from watchdog group OpenTheBooks.com.

That raghead wanna be stole his gun from the police department.

EPA might need a shovel to lean against but not a M4.

May be part of Obama’s ploy to become #1 gun salesman of all time.

There’s more PAY if you’re a fed and have to wear a gun.

Hence, people wearing guns at our expense.

Is Obama building his "National Civilian Army" piece by piece?

Dear leader needs troops who will follow orders since those officers were fired. During inzurrection dear leader needs loyal troops against us.

A small army tasked to hold Washington DC if things really drop in the pot and the Army can’t be trusted, perhaps.

We can't say Obama didn't warn us.

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set.

We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Obama 2008

It's OK.

It just means there will be more guns and ammo lying on the ground to be picked up after TSHTF, because the affirmative-action types in those agencies live in a fantasy land where cause and effect do not exist.

It will be quite a shock to them when their fantasy land crumbles.

More evidence showing that zer0 won’t leave office, and will have every single fed go door to door confiscating everything they feel that people shouldn’t have. That’s his personal force just as well armed and trained as the military is. You may not have heard this for the first time, but I’m saying it here and now. He won’t leave office.

I’m getting the same feeling. Benghazi Clinton is going down the tubes as we speak. Slow Joe or another designated pet rock just doesn’t stand a chance. So it will have to be a false flag with His Arrogance declaring a “national emergency” (not martial law which would require the military to step in) where the elections would be “deferred” until some future date, the constitution suspended and federal agencies would have draconian powers.
