“Stop making far more than needed.”

Indeed. The real intent is not to supply military hardware to the police. The intent is to keep money flooding into the makers of that equipment. The military need is so small that in some cases, it does not justify the cost of making new equipment. But if you throw in all the thousands of police departments suddenly the market is huge. But since those police generally don’t have the money (or need) for fifty caliber machine guns or armored vehicles the federal government (taxpayers) have to pay for it. It’s a win/win for government and police and a loss for taxpayers.
