      Ya, basically. Particularly with the APCs, eliminate the military surplus purchase program that lets cops have war machines for pennies as long as they find a way to use them.

      They ALWAYS will

      I don’t like cops either, but having ZERO law enforcement is the same thing as pure anarchy.
