Trump Signs Executive Orders to Militarize Police, Punish Sanctuary Cities and Refugees

A second order further militarizes local police departments, while providing legal resources to officers accused of abuses; it also seeks to undo federal consent decrees for departments that have committed civil rights abuses and seeks to punish local officials who “unlawfully prohibit law enforcement officers from carrying out duties.”
That’s not militarization, it’s promoting lawlessness and removing any remaining accountability.
Seattle PD literally had to be partially taken over by the federal government because it was so corrupt and would not curb its officers… this is going to be VERY problematic in Seattle and surrounding areas.
By definition the federal government will return Seattle PD back into what it was, but with federal backing and technical support.
I'm in a smaller city and even our local PD has two apcs. This is a nightmare.
In all honesty if they have to APCs then they have one APC maybe half an APC, those things are designed with military logistics in mind so their parts are easy to replace if not particularly robust.
Have you not wondered why they keep trying to get the military involved? It's because they think the military is above the law and can just shoot anyone and do what they want.
