[QUOTE="creepycrawly, post: 546570, member: 9808"] :stir: That can be argued both ways. Not too long ago, everyone was up in arms about the fact that our local law enforcement agencies were becoming more and more militarized. Seems like we can't be happy regardless. I am not opposed to the idea that our local governments should not have tanks. Would you support them having a howitzer? Presumably, no, right? Ok, so where do we draw that line?

Even the sheriff admits this is “a little spooky.” There is no need to have public funds wasted on the repair, maintenance and storage of all this excess equipment that is questionable as to its actual need." The sheriff quoted is the same sheriff in office now. Here is a little more background on the program.
