Well at least Obama has done something right during his time.
sheesh lousie.
the over militarization of the police is something that many here have been concerned about.
lets not turn this move into a "obama said the sun gives earth light so that must be wrong" situation.
violent crime is down nation wide. and police do not need military vehicles to write tickets or stop the local drug dealer.
All that heavy equipment is overkill.
The only thing it's really good for is killing citizen mobs and the citizen militia. And neither is the police's job.

You mean giving the police the ability to combat criminals on an even footing?You probably think they should go back to 1963 Chryslers and 6 shot .38 specials.
Get real.

Disempowerment. It's a favourite game of the Left.
Gun control ... an obsession of theirs, which they WILL NOT give up on, EVER. Now, if I read this correctly, the police, too, are to have their resource-capability downscaled ??
What's next ... copying the British model of ensuring that the police don't even carry any weapons at all ?
The direction SHOULD be to EMPOWER the police !!
... Unbelievable ....

But THAT is what this is all about. The Senate shot down 2 separate gun control bills and O-blah-blah-s having one of his "kid didn't get his way" tantrums.

Typical Leftie control-freak madness. Wield control .. for its own sake. Any resemblance to ever actually doing something GOOD for anyone out of it is a purely coincidental by-product ...

What do you suppose the bodycount would be if those people in that "gun free zone" were packing? I bet nowhere close to 14 dead and 17 wounded.

That is all preposterous. I guess San Bernadino was not violent crime most recently.
Whose job is it to set down mobs? Tell us 'expert'! Martial law would have
to be declared, or else the National Guard turned out with the same damn vehicle types.
It protects the responders including police, fire and medical.
It gives them a way to shield innocents.
How one-way blind can you be? Often the
damn criminals out-gun the first LE on scene.
Again, you do not know what you are talking about on
issues like this.
Now I anticipate another endless stream of Cut and Paste opinions
written by others. Such is your style.

Yes. A tactical advantage in the coming Obama police state. Or so I've heard in other threads.

Is anyone saying they should go back to 38s?You mean giving the police the ability to combat criminals on an even footing?
Get real.
Is an Amoured vehicle with a gun turret = to 38 special?
you get real. the U.S. isn't Mayberry but it isn't a war zone either.
Are your thinking it's use is for drug dealers most of whom have handguns, shotguns and maybe some AKs and the like? teenage gangs?
how many drug based military level fire fights have you seen on the news? give me 3 n the whole U.S..
they need armored vehicles and bazookas for that?
or do they need it for shoplifters, wife beaters, pedophiles, speeders, homeless, car accidents, hit and runs, home buglers, rapist, trespassers, kidnappers, professional commercial thieves, jaywalkers, protesters, bar fights, drunks, kids smoking weed or directing traffic?
there's no need for military grade weapons and vehicles unless you're an invading or occupying army.
swat teams sit on their butts most of the year in most cities or make up BS to do just to keep busy and often used more force than needed in that make work.
military grade vehicles in civilian police work is just bad policy gunny.
