Randal NAILS him @ 4:48.
Sigh at the comments on his FB page...Things like "What are the cops going to do when ISIS is on the streets?"

Ron Paul of Texas, this site is dedicated to facilitating grassroots initiatives that aim to restore a sovereign limited constitutional Republic based on the rule of law, states' rights and individual rights. We seek to enshrine the original intent of our Founders to foster respect for private property, seek justice, provide opportunity, and to secure individual liberty for ourselves and our posterity.
A police state is a small price to pay for living in the freest country on earth.
I just lost it at 3:10 LOL
Paul: 12,000 bayonets have been given out. What purpose are bayonets being given out for?
Estevez: Senator, bayonets are available under the program. I can't answer what a local police force would need a bayonet for.
Paul: I can give you an answer--NONE.
Estevez: Ok.

Great job Senator Paul!
beautiful. his father's congressional videos were epic, particularly his floor speeches. Rand does well here, the 3:10 mark is great, and I love how he can scold them in a subtle way

SEPTEMBER 9, 2014
Senator Rand Paul publicly denounced the militarization of police as a response to the events in Ferguson, Missouri. Paul spoke before a meeting of the Senate Homeland Security Committee at a hearing on Tuesday to ask questions about the type of equipment that local police are attaining from the Department of Defense.
The Assistant Administrator of FEMA for Grant Programs, Brian Kamoie, responded to Senator Paul that the categories of personal protective equipment for police officers contain a prohibition for the use of riot suppression. Kamoie promised to investigate the incidents in Missouri to determine whether there was a misuse of equipment against civilians.
Paul appeared angry about the use of MRAP trucks in towns as small as 3,900 people. The Kentucky senator put the FEMA representative and the Obama administration on blast for handing out thousands of bayonets to local police. “What purpose are bayonets being given out for?”
“I can’t answer what a local police force would use a bayonet for,” Alan Estevez said. “We’re going to look at what we’re providing under the administration’s review of all these programs.”

These hearings are so pointless. You never get anything but the run-around. "I'll have to wait to see what the Dept. of Justice finds in their investigation." Then you ask the D.O.J. and they say go ask the people who approve grants.
That's $#@!ing bureaucracy for you.

He seems to have missed a fine opportunity to pin Estevez's hide to the barn door. At the beginning Paul cited that military equipment was to be used strictly for counter-terrorism. Later, Estevez cites drug trade as a permitted use and Paul let it pass. It can be difficult to see every opportunity in real time, but this could have been very interesting had Paul pressed Estevez for an explanation.
