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.

Lex K. Morse, you obviously haven’t been in the right places.
Lisa Hawks, have you ever had to fight off a riot? Have you ever encountered an active shooter? Calling police officers cowards because they prefer to be prepared is ludicrous. I’ve been an officer for over a decade and have worked several different departments in 3 different states. Most departments have swat gear or what u call “militarized gear”. Have u seen any departments marching down the road and telling ppl to go home when there is no state of emergency? No you haven’t. Do u wear a seat belt? Are u a coward if u do? Do u have a fire extinguisher? Are u a coward if you do? LA found out the hard way that we need to be prepared for rioters and active shooters that are better armed than us.
Hopefully u are never in a situation that the city is rioting and u are in fear for ur life, but if it happens, u’ll be thankful of our “militarized gear”. Look at Ferguson, New Orleans, LA, Baltimore, and etc. It happens. I bet u call guns “assault weapons” to. You better not do anything to be prepared. You’ll be a hypocrite
If ur worried about the police state, worry about the U.N. or federal agencies. Your local law enforcement will be fighting for you.

I know about the UN I say make a parking lot in New York out thee building we fund 3/4 of there budget. so world history runs deep in my family and we have deep roots of being veterans. We fought for that.
I’m talking about the KKK. You said they’re dead.
I’m no fan of the UN. They are one step from being a world government. I love being an American. I love being a cop and defending her on our soil.
To me the are. I served with all races. I grew up wanting to be a cop. You just do not want to p**s off a vet. that is why you got the National gaurd they got your back.
Police are not cowards I know many of them and they are good friends. Lisa you are a coward.
