Agreed, police should be allowed no more or less equipment that citizenry.
Times change no doubt. My best friends father was a policeman back in the days when cops were still using .38 Police Specials, so we’re talking way back. He wore the double breasted police tunic and peaked cap. That was a long, long time ago.
“Agreed, police should be allowed no more or less equipment that citizenry.”
Obama has been a liar on every single issue. The only reason he could possibly be wanting the police to not have this equipment is that he’ll also hold that the reverse of your statement also holds true: that citizens cannot have certain items either. He may be starting with MRAPs, but I suspect this is just an excuse to twist it around and say you or I can no longer have any surplus military items either. This could eventually set precedent to saying nobody can own an old 03A3 or a Garand, and then lead to no AR’s. Of course his soon to be National Police Force will be exempt from all of it.
