Re: More Military Equipment for Cops
It is also better to use armored vehicles vs. horses in case of rioters and looters vs. police forces.
Too many horses were hurt in the past!

Re: More Military Equipment for Cops
Agreed with both parts of your statement.DevilDawg wrote:As distasteful as I find it, I do agree with Former President Obama. The police should not be armed with the tools of war.
I make an exception in dealing with terrorists nad organized protester groups like AntiFa rioting, looting, setting houses on fire, ...
In those cases outgunned and outmanned police forces should be allowed to take effective measures to protect law abiding citizens.
As an example I name Europe using tanks with water cannons and gas mixed in to control situations like mentioned above.
