Distrust of law enforcement runs deep in the Obama administration as they are now banning some military-style equipment from use by police departments citing a RISK of misuse or something:
ABC NEWS – The White House is banning certain types of military-style equipment for local law enforcement.
The surprise announcement comes after the White House signaled last year that such equipment would remain accessible to local police departments, despite criticisms that the police response to protests over the killing of black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri were over-militarized.
But an interagency task force has since concluded that the risk of such military-style equipment being misused and violating community trust outweighs the advantages it offers in maintaining public peace.
The new list of banned equipment includes tracked armored vehicles, weaponized aircraft and vehicles, bayonets, grenade launchers, and large-caliber firearms.
Some military-style equipment — including armored vehicles, tactical vehicles, riot gear, and specialized firearms and ammunition – will remain accessible to law enforcement under new strict controls.
So of course Obama would take the recommendations of his ‘task force’ on restricting law enforcement but when it comes to the economy he completely ignores substantive recommendations of his presidential fiscal commission.
