Comments
OPPOSE. Removes limitations on law enforcement use of military equipment in carrying out their responsibilities. Increases the militarization of our law enforcement agencies.
Local law-enforcement agencies have no need to be more militarized.
We are not at war and the police are not at war with us. Rather move those funds to hiring more social workers and focus on de-escalation training.
And absolutely no police should be using munitions without rigorous training standards. More training, not less. Fewer methods for lethal interactions, not more.
All ELECTED First Responders acting under TITLE of PEACE OFFICER - should be - what we are attempting to achieve. REMOVE the TITLE "law enforcement officer" as that is the JOB of A JURY. A Jury of a man's Peers ENFORCE.
Men and Women POSTING their own PERSONAL BOND, or Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy for their PROFESSIONAL "unauthorized practice of law" as AFFILIATES of the FOREIGN AGENT-Members of American Bar Association aiding and abetting in criminal racketeering for Private Profit - is the TWIST on civilian citizens.
LEGAL is a foreign private Crown-Copyrighted LANGUAGE; its the Practice of the DARK ARTS.
It isn't a militarized police, it's a well-prepared police. Virginia has a huge military presence so it is a big target for terrorism. So police having superior fire power to deal with threats is what's best for public and police safety. Don't call it militarization until law enforcement is driving around with M1 Abrams, patrolling the skies with jets and apaches and have RPGs in every patrol car trunk.
