Police State is coming thanks to 45 and Sessions. Military gear galore! The White racist cops are wetting their pants in glee. Kill!
"We are fighting a multi-front battle: an increase in violent crime, a rise in vicious gangs, an opioid epidemic, threats from terrorism, combined with a culture in which family and discipline seem to be eroding further and a disturbing disrespect for the rule of law," Sessions said, as he walked the audience of mostly law enforcement officials through a broad tour of his policy changes at the Justice Department over the past several months.
"The executive order the President will sign today will ensure that you can get the lifesaving gear that you need to do your job and send a strong message that we will not allow criminal activity, violence and lawlessness to become a new normal," Sessions added.

We already have seen what they do to unarmed black men. We know how they feel...here. Caught on tape.
Cop: We only kill black people. Let that sink in. Beauregard, a card carrying KKK member wants to arm cops with military gear to kill black people.

If Sessions is so concerned about criminal activity then he should look at the out of control PD that he wants to give more arms to.
What next? The nurse they manhandled arrested, cuffed and thrown in a police car was a threat for doing her job. Perhaps they should have just shot her. Is this what Sessions wants? Arresting people for doing their job? A nurse in ER? Seriously? A nurse...a nurse????
What next? Jaywalking while black?
What next? A Girl Scout troop?
Sessions and 45 are very concerned about crime if it is black and at times female. Yet no concern about the vicious groups of murderous white supremacists.
"We are fighting a multi-front battle: an increase in violent crime, a rise in vicious gangs, an opioid epidemic, threats from terrorism, combined with a culture in which family and discipline seem to be eroding further and a disturbing disrespect for the rule of law,"
Jeffie? It is you and your ilk that is the threat to our nations security and the rule of law.

(33,915 posts)5. This is not a new program.
As much as it might be nice to blame Trump & company, the militarization of local police (and schools) was a program with its beginnings under Clinton's watch. Obama placed some limits on the program very late in his term. Trump is lifting those limitations.
Here is a good summary of the program: https://www.fcnl.org/updates/how-tanks-got-to-main-street-1009
