Former Philadelphia Police Commissioner Says Time To Arm The Protesters
by Guerilla Girl Ashley The Pete Santilli Show & The Guerilla Media Network
It’s about time that someone that used to be high up in law enforcement ( former Philadelphia police commissioner Capt Ray Lewis) is finally speaking out about the militarization of America’s police, by stating during an interview, “ If anything, it was the protesters that needed the automatic weapons” said the former Philly police chief while speaking to an absolutely stunned RT reporter. He went on to say, that it was “Dangerous, alienating, and sociopathic: the policy of arming police to the teeth with military-grade gear shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how crime is solved and what it means for a cop to walk the beat”, said former Philadelphia police commissioner Ray Lewis.
This country would be so much better if all of the top in our law enforcement agencies had that same mindset.
“If anything it was the protesters that needed the automatic weapons.”
Nine-foot tall, 55,000 pound, Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) armored-fighting vehicles rolling through the streets of America.
Millions of dollars’ worth of military gear being distributed to local police forces on an annual basis.
Drones, M-16s and so many other hand-me-downs from over a decade of war making their way from US forces abroad to a local police force near you.
If you really believe any of this is making you safer, Lewis, who spent 24 years on the force, says you should think again. Endangering lives, alienating communities, turning minority neighborhoods into occupied territory and compromising the very ability for police to do their jobs; these are just a few of the reasons the former commissioner believes main street is being sold down the river for power-hungry cops and ruthless corporate interest.
