For the several months, there have been riots in the streets ever since Donald Trump was
elected as president.
Instead of the left accepting the fact that America did, in fact, elect President Trump
they have been in a complete meltdown.
At first, there were protests as these "enlightened" morons claimed that Trump colluded with Russia.
Then when that did not work they decided to reignite the old tired racist and bigot mantra
to foment more angst.
On top of all that these liberal half-wits have also let loose the violent group Antifa
to terrorize anyone with a dissenting point of view.
For months, we have witnessed these basement dwellers attacking Trump supporters and destroying
public property.
The police have been told to stand down to allow these destructive minions their chance
at "free speech", but that is about to change after what Trump just did.
This past weekend, there was another protest that took place in Berkeley, California, and
of course, chaos ensued.
The violent alt-left of Antifa showed up at the protest running wild and causing destruction.
The black-clad anti-fascists sorry, fascists ran through the peaceful protesters and stormed
the school and surrounding areas.
According to reports, police were given an order to stand down, and law enforcement retreated
to the perimeter of the park where Antifa was gathering.
Of course, as you can guess this had disastrous results as these angry millennials attacked
people they claimed were white supremacists.
Unreal right?
Well, now these destructive riots may come to a screeching halt after what Trump just
did this morning.
You see, during the Ferguson, Missouri, riots after Michael Brown was shot by an officer
the police used military gear to combat the destruction.
Apparently, Obama felt like this was a big no-no saying that military gear should not
be seen on our city streets.
So, with one swoop of his pen, Obama signed an executive order that halted surplus military
equipment to local law enforcement.
For quite some time, law enforcement officials have been asking that this policy is reversed,
and it just was.
Documents that were obtained by Fox News reveal that President Trump will sign an executive
order that will reverse this Obama-era policy.
Trump's executive order will restore "The full scope of a longstanding program for recycling
surplus, lifesaving gear from the Department of Defense."
The document that was obtained continues by saying, "The gear recycled through the Department
of Defense's 1033 program includes everything from ammunition and vehicles to office supplies…
Under that program, assets that would otherwise be scrapped can be repurposed to help state,
local, and tribal law enforcement better protect public safety and reduce crime."
However, civil right leaders are already making a stink about this and are warning that this
may inflame tensions in minority communities where such equipment has been deployed in
the past.
Here is more from USA Today:
"It is both exceptionally dangerous and irresponsible for the administration to lift
the ban on the transfer of certain surplus military equipment to state and local law
enforcement organizations," said Janai Nelson, associate director of the NAACP Legal Defense
Fund.
"Just a few summers ago, our nation watched as Ferguson raised the specter of increased
police militarization.
The law enforcement response there and in too many places across the country demonstrated
how perilous, especially for black and brown communities, a militarized police force can
be."
Nelson said the timing of the president's decision, against the backdrop of unrest in
Charlottesville, Va., "reflects this administration now open effort to escalate racial tensions
in our country."
Local access to the high-powered gear was put on national display in 2014 in Ferguson,
Mo., where armored vehicles and heavily-armed police clashed with protesters for days following
the police shooting of an unarmed 18-year-old black man by a white officer.
The deployment of such equipment, President Obama argued at the time, cast the police
as an "occupying force," deepening a divide between law enforcement and a wary community.
"We've seen how militarized gear can sometimes give people a feeling like they're an occupying
force, as opposed to a force that's part of the community that's protecting them
and serving them," Obama said in announcing the ban in 2015.
The military gear ban was among a host of policing reform recommendations to flow from
a White House advisory group formed in the aftermath of the Ferguson rioting.
The Task Force on 21st Century Policing, chaired by former Philadelphia Police Commissioner
Charles Ramsey and Laurie Robinson, a former assistant attorney general, called on law
enforcement officials to "minimize the appearance of a military operation" when policing mass
demonstrations.
"Avoid using provocative tactics and equipment that undermine civilian trust," the task
force urged.
The previously-banned equipment also included tracked armored vehicles, bayonets, and grenade
launchers.
Of course, the left does not want to reinstate this policy since they have been given the
keys to commit crimes unchecked.
Over the past couple years, cities across the country have been destroyed thanks to
riots not being able to be stopped.
Our law enforcement has not been effectively armed when dealing with people who are violent
and destructive.
Maybe this will make the violent groups such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter think twice
before starting the next riots in their town.
what do you think about this?
