The Burlington, Vermont police department just said “no” to an offer most police departments accept
Rather than accept military-grade equipment for their police department’s arsenal, Police Chief Brandon del Pozo told local television reporters that “Amassing a worst-case scenario arsenal of military equipment results in officers seeing everyday policework through a military lens.”
Considering the proliferation of military-grade technologies and weapons throughout the country’s police departments, the Burlington PD just took a real stand against tyranny.

good, now the rest of the police departments all over the state need to do this, but of course most of them will be cowards
I thought about the militarization of PDs a lot. I can see many benefits but want to state that the PD i worked with did not train ALL the officers as combat fighters. Most Patrol officers are that, Patrol Officers. We handled normal calls for service. I think that works.
Good ideal
Good decision…
Any cop that supports the “police state ” should be shot or hanged. It’s a direct violation of our Constitution
kudos to DelPozo,,,,,,,now all he’s gotta do is stand behind it,,,,,,,,
The reason why he said no, is the same reason why he should have taken it. So he would be better armed if needed against an enemy, foreign or DOMESTIC!
No it’s because Americans are terrorists.
Kkk also
Kkk were liberal democrats!
