You may have heard that the image-conscious Los Angeles Unified School District chose to return the grenade launchers it received from the Defense Department’s surplus equipment program. You probably have not heard about some of the more obscure beneficiaries of the Pentagon giveaway:
For more than 20 years, the Pentagon program that distributes surplus weapons, aircraft and vehicles to police departments nationwide received little attention or scrutiny. Defense Department officials closely guarded the details of which agencies across the country received which items.
- Police in Johnston, R.I., with a population less than 29,000, acquired two bomb disposal robots, 10 tactical trucks, 35 assault rifles, more than 100 infrared gun sights and two pairs of footwear designed to protect against explosive mines. The Johnson police department has 67 sworn officers.
- The parks division of Delaware’s Department of Natural Resources was given 20 M-16 rifles, while the fish and wildlife enforcement division obtained another 20 M-16s, plus eight M-14 rifles and ten .45-caliber automatic pistols.
- Campus police at the University of Louisiana, Monroe, received 12 M-16s to help protect the 8,811 students there (or perhaps to keep them in line).
- The warden service of Maine’s Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife received a small aircraft, 96 night vision goggles, 67 gun sights and seven M-14 rifles.
Then, events in Ferguson propelled the 1033 program, as the surplus distribution is called, into the public eye.

Stop the cut and paste long enough to explain what you mean by us lefties wailing on abortion. Cut and paste, the best friend of the illiterate.
The progs will get it if the cons don't rein in the cops at the state and local levels.
The progs are playing the propaganda on this very well.

I think your mind is crumbling. Do you want the feds overreaching and supervising our local LEOs. If we don't rein in senseless police brutality, that is what you, Frank, are asking for. You think protecting lawless cops is going to protect you from them.

Jake, I don't want you Nazis running any portion of our government. Take Rove and your Bush Crime Family, hop in a time machine and practice your Heil Hitlers
