A massive military build-up is underway right here in Tennessee.
Local law enforcement agencies are snatching up huge amounts of weapons — from the Department of Defense — used in fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Items include grenade launchers, mine-resistant vehicles and guns that have been deemed as surplus by the Pentagon.
The equipment is cheap or free for local law enforcement agencies to acquire.
The federal program has fueled a debate about the militarization of our police departments.
So this is what its like to be living in Afghanistan.. or any other 3rd world dictatorship where one’s police force is nothing but an extension of the state’s fascism.
The answer? Flamethrowers.
I can tell you why!!! But of course most will not believe, but disasters are on the way in the form of earthquakes and Ebola. Disease will run rampant so military and the police will need all the weapons they can get there hands on to keep the mobs and the masses of crazed people at bay.
Best of luck to them. It won’t end for them or their families how they hope it will.
DOD has been providing police departments with excess, used and outdated military equipment for years. This isn’t anything new. In my opinion stories such as this are actually designed to create more fear of police from the public and create further division and mistrust. Police department Chiefs are usually amicable to any equipment that could be beneficial or useful especially when its free.
Early in the Afghan war, every family had to have their own Bazooka.
