Disarming the Police

Remember those pictures of the cops protected by armored vehicles surrounding the terrorists SUV?
Obama wants to even the odds.

Headline:

Michigan cops fume over loss of U.S. military vehicles





Link.

"Michigan law enforcement agencies are returning donated surplus military equipment to the federal government this month — including tracked armored vehicles that metro Detroit sheriff's offices have had for more than a decade— under orders of the White House, and they are not happy about it."

  1. If I posted this, I'd be getting comments about how they should never have this kind of equipment, you can't trust the cops, the feds are building them up to pounce on us, etc etc.
    I'm TOTALLY on your side with this.........this WORKED in San Berdoo.......
    And it's the feds trying to remove the stuff.......
    Tonight should be fun; watching Obama "reassure the nation" was headlines are saying. Nice to have a good laugh now and then, huh? :-)

    1. I know the argument. Thanks for stopping by. Wondered if you'd seen last Sunday's post.

  2. Well, let's grant Obama some points for consistency. He makes the lines more distinct with each new order.

  3. I second Z's comment. Not sure why we want to tie our police officer's hands when dealing with terrorists. It's not like Detroit isn't a potential hot bed for future attacks. I am reminded of the recent story out of Britain where the subway cops had to take on a knife-wielding jihadist without guns. I don't think a taser beats an uzi in a game of rock-paper-scissors box cutter, suicide vest.
