Obama restricts 'military' gear going to police 05/19/15 (Tue) 23:38:37 No.327

President Barack Obama has banned the US government from giving certain kinds of military-style equipment to local police forces.

Basically no more rescue tanks, rescue 50cal snipers, rescue automatic grande launchers mounted to rescue humvees etc.

I wonder what country all this shit will end up in now.

What will be banned:

armoured vehicles that run on a tracked system instead of wheels

armed aircraft, ships or vehicles

firearms or ammunition of .50-calibre or higher

grenade launchers

bayonets

camouflage uniforms

>it's funny because besides the grenade launchers (which they used for tear gas), they didn't even really use that stuff

>>327

I'm upset there wasn't yet another race shooting.

at least this time it'd be unarmed black man vs 50 cal rather than just some lame choke hold

Tracked vehicles tend to tear up the road anyways, its double cost for a city to buy its police force APCs AND more road crews to clean up the mess APCs make.

Police need cameras, less guns and more tasers, shotguns that shoot taser rounds, stun gloves, etc,
