Obama announces restrictions on distribution of military-style equipment to police Fox News

WASHINGTON – President Obama is banning local police departments from receiving a range of military-style equipment from the federal government -- from grenade launchers to bayonets to certain armored vehicles -- as he implements the recommendations of a panel that examined the controversial gear giveaways in the wake of the Ferguson riots.

The White House announced Monday that Washington would no longer provide some military-style gear while putting stricter controls on other weapons and equipment distributed to law enforcement. The details were released in advance of an Obama visit to Camden, N.J., Monday afternoon where he met with youth and law enforcement.

I love the cops but they don't need APC's and military equipment. Who the hell do they think they're at war with?

 

[usfan]

He just wants his fema troops to not have opposition during the zombie apocalypse..

Swell. Now when they come up against drug cartels with military hardware our guys can tip-toe up to them, 6 shot .38 Specials at the ready and beg them to surrender.

War Gear Flows to Police Departments

NEENAH, Wis. — Inside the municipal garage of this small lakefront city, parked next to the hefty orange snowplow, sits an even larger truck, this one painted in desert khaki. Weighing 30 tons and built to withstand land mines, the armored combat vehicle is one of hundreds showing up across the country, in police departments big and small.

The 9-foot-tall armored truck was intended for an overseas battlefield. But as President Obama ushers in the end of what he called America’s “long season of war,” the former tools of combat — M-16 rifles, grenade launchers, silencers and more — are ending up in local police departments, often with little public notice.

During the Obama administration, according to Pentagon data, police departments have received tens of thousands of machine guns; nearly 200,000 ammunition magazines; thousands of pieces of camouflage and night-vision equipment; and hundreds of silencers, armored cars and aircraft.

Obama sold a bunch of that crap to them.......caused them to have to use it......and then bans it.


Makes sense......

Yup. Dumbass move on Barry's part.

Drug cartels and drug dealers us military grade equipment. Might as well send our police out with peashooters.

The idiocy of that fuck in the WH never ceases to amaze me.

Oh wait. I forgot. He's never had a real job in his entire life and he certainly never had to face drug runners armed with peashooter. Never mind.

Ya gotta love how he banned tracked armored vehicles.....yet ones with tires are just fine.
Who the hell needs a tracked armored vehicle and I'd like to see an example of a police force using one.
What a meaningless gesture.
