Military industrial complex to Pentagon: “Hey you guy need this newest version of equipment.” (Which we don’t) Pentagon: “What will we do with the old stuff?” MIC: “Send it to the boys back home.” Thus the creation of America’s militarized police.
Biden can easily shut down a Pentagon program that’s given police more than $1.7 billion in combat gear—including over $120 million since Jan 2021—with an executive order. He still refuses to do so, despite the urging of activists: stephensemler.substack.com/p…

I can see cutting budget on purchasing new military equipment. If there is a valid law enforcement use for retired military gear though, it seems like a waste to throw it out and have municipalities buy new stuff from the very same military industrial complex.

💯 now they should gather all of that military equipment up and send it to Ukraine instead of depleting our military’s supplies, especially since we will be in WW3 shortly as Iran is going to join Russia with the money we gave them under Obama (one of my few disagreements w/him)

Between the police unions and the weaponry, no wonder big city mayors like DeBlasio are afraid of their police forces. Voters need to wake up and stop worrying about the phrasing of calls to scale back our police forces or even greater losses to civil liberties will follow.

Biden could also insist they be trained by Norway’s police instead of by Israeli military.

Send it to Ukraine.
