Expansion of Military Program Under Trump
A secretive federal program, known as the 1122 program, has provided local cops with tens of millions of dollars' worth of discounted military gear.
Examples of purchased equipment include armored vehicles, video surveillance programs, and thermal imagers.
The floodgates could be opened now that President Donald Trump has revoked an executive order issued by his predecessor, Joe Biden, meant to tamp down on the “warrior cop” trend.
This program poses a danger to protesters facing off against militarized cops, according to a new report.
Author's Summary
Trump's executive action may increase militarized police gear.
