Quote:That's sensationalism right there.  There is no online military weapons Amazon for police departments.  JSO can't just fill out a 1 page form and get an F-16 with sidewinder missiles in 14 days. 

 

If you want your police force to be less armed than groups of the populace go take a look at Mexico and tell me how that's going.  Welcome to a world of strong arming and corruption.

 

How much more evidence do you need? I've given you at least half a dozen articles going into detail who has what but at this point you just don't want to believe it. I guess on this subject we will just disagree. In case you want more verification here's some more links.

Fargo ND  has a personal delivery vehicle with a mounted rotating turret

 

There's a county in Texas that has two military pilot less surveillance drones from the 1033 program. 

 

Add to ALL of this the red light cameras, security cameras, air traffic surveillance, check points and damn it you've got a police state. But don't worry just do as the government says and you have nothing to worry about people.
