Congress To Face Issue Of Cops' Militarization
Rand Paul’s staff confirms plans to introduce legislation
WND
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has been warning of the dangers of militarized police departments across the nation for some time. In August, he wrote in a Time op-ed that such militarization, combined with a developing “erosion of civil liberties and due process,” results in “no-knock searches, board general warrants, pre-conviction forfeiture.”
“We begin to have a very serious problem,” he said at the time.
Now he’s going further, with plans raise the issue in the U.S. Senate during the next session.
According to a Buzzfeed report online, Paul’s staff members said he will reintroduce a bill that “goes after the federal programs that send military-grade equipment to local police departments.”
“Paul will be trying to force a Republican-controlled Senate to examine federal programs that funnel millions in grant money and surplus to arm local police forces with weapons and vehicles designed for the battlefield,” the report said.
It’s the federal government’s 1033 program that offers military grade equipment to local police departments and the like. It’s been controversial for a number of issues in recent months, including once when a flash-bang grenade was tossed into a home, and landed in the bed of a toddler.
