Biden INCREASES militarized police spending under 1033 program

From a leftist site, thus the broken link.

The love affair between Biden and the Marxist left is bound to sour at some point.

This is one of the first signs I suppose.


The Flow Of Military Equipment To Police Has Accelerated Under Biden

The Pentagon’s 1033 program is the primary mechanism by which police acquire military hardware. Most of the items transferred are innocuous, but that’s only in terms of quantity; in terms of value, combat gear dominates the ledger. Not surprisingly the latter fact typically escapes police/DOD discourse.

Matériel is what’s counted here. The values below reflect that of military hardware (“controlled” equipment) transferred through the 1033 program and not the office supplies or generators or t-shirts or whatever (“uncontrolled” equipment).

No it won't. They need police with tanks and semi-outo rifles to keep them in power.

That was my first thought. The Democrats want a militarized Police as their personal bodyguards. But there are many on the left that are so blind to reality that they will be surprised by this.

I doubt it. The left will accept this from their side just like the right accepts spending increases from theirs.

It's only an outrage when the other party does it.

I wonder if this might be at all related (from something I posted in another thread):

NOTE: I'm assuming without further corroboration that the identification of the hut-hut-hutters as NG is correct here. As noted by the article, it's pretty much up to social media randos and the like to cover this sort of thing now - because apparently, all the "real" journalists are too busy with more urgent and important stories (like doxxing paramedics for giving ten bucks to Kyle Rittenhouse). So it might just be local cops playing at being soldiers - perhaps with all the toys they're getting from the DOD.

US Soldiers Force Women from Car at Gunpoint for Pumping Gas Past Curfew



[...]

The national guard ordering women out of their car at gunpoint for pumping gas after curfew is most assuredly a national story — yet we couldn’t find a single mainstream media outlet who covered it.
