In light of the recent event in St. Louis, MO and elsewhere shocking photos of a well armed local police force against a small populace seems unreal, excessive, and dangerous.
It would seem that the federal government is enabling the local police forces of this nation to stand against and aggravate the people they are supposed to protect with equipment and vehicles designed for war zones, and not American cities.
We want the administration to prevent the transfer of excess military equipment to local jurisdictions across the nation, to prevent an abuse against the citizens which paid for this equipment for war, not police action, a difference which is described throughout our nation's history as distinct.
