>>>One of the biggest problems with Trump is that he has no respect for civil liberties<<<
Really? I’ll have to chew on that one for a while.

This is a really bad idea. Military folks are taught that we don’t act against our own civilians. Cops aren’t.

Read how the Berkeley police acted this weekend and the Charlottesville VA police did a few weeks ago...
The cops are not your friends.

Except when you need them militarized. That's what the National Guard is for.

Cool. More stuff for a standing army. Yes, the current use of police is a standing army. We’ve allowed more leeway for our police than the brits had over us.

This is a bad idea. They should be put up for auction for purchase by the American people. Anything left over could then be auctioned separately to the civilian police departments.
