Of course he’d do this. The only restriction is that the PD’s that get the equipment must allow the alt-president unlimited photo-ops in the tanks.

I’ve got some news for little fingered donnie baby man …

NOTHING he can do…or undo… will make me forget ----

I lived during the tenure of one of the BEST Presidents in this country’s history …

Next he is going to put Rudy Giuliani, Bernie Kerik and Joe Aprio in charge of distributing all the armored vehicles, M2 machine guns, grenade launchers and predator drones to just the right law enforcement officers, for a price, of course.

So much for community policing. You know, he could reduce crime a great deal with some really common sense changes none of which require armored vehicles. He is preparing to turn the local police into an occupying force. That is what happens when you surround yourself with generals.

Yes, and I understand there will be special prices for Brown uniform shirts and Government Issue Tiki torches!
It makes one wonder if the Mayor of any city which applies will get a 25% discount if they can whistle the “Horst Wessel Lied” while filling their requests.

So he wants to create the USPF. What’s the worst that could happen?

I don’t know about you all, but I feel much safer now.
