Guess Who Militarized The Cops
Exclusive: Joseph Farah spotlights WND’s lonely coverage, which began last century
WND
You’ve been hearing more and more about “the militarization of the police.”
It’s about time.
I actually introduced this phrase into the vernacular beginning back in 1997 when I first spotted the trend – a trend that has several different facets to it, all dangerous. WND has been aggressively tracking these stories and began doing so long before any other news agency noticed.
The first thing to hit me was the way Washington was arming to the teeth federal agencies not previously known for being police-style agencies. When the Environmental Protection Agency starting packing heat, I took notice.
That’s right – 1997. Do you know who was president in 1997? More on that later …
The next angle to this story had to do with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia – where everyone from the EPA cops to local police agencies and even foreign law enforcement receives training from the feds.
The next shoe to drop for me was the discovery that the federal government was supplying local police departments with massive amounts of military-style weaponry. Training, armaments – what’s going on here? Then it dawned on me.
The federal government isn’t in the charity business. It wasn’t giving anything away. It was buying control. It wasn’t just militarizing local police departments, it was federalizing them.
That all got me thinking about how police states are born. I started to see not only that police departments were getting this military training and equipment, but they were beginning to show signs that it was all going to their heads.
While WND was daily chronicling these stories, I noticed the establishment press was not very interested. Neither were liberal Democrats, nor conservative Republicans. The civil libertarian organizations didn’t show much concern either. Literally, back then, in the 1990s, WND was alone in the whistleblowing on the militarization and federalization of local domestic police agencies.
