More on police departments
"losing" Pentagon weapons.
"The Pentagon has banned 145 law enforcement agencies from receiving
surplus military weapons and supplies, part of a program under scrutiny
after police in combat gear responded to protests in Ferguson, MO.
In each case examined by the Cox Washington bureau, the departments were suspended after losing high-powered weapons."
Losing is code for stealing without consequence.
"The list of banned law enforcement agencies is a small fraction of
the 8,000 participating in the program, but includes large departments
such as the North Carolina State Highway Patrol and Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Departments can petition the Pentagon to be reinstated."
Maybe people put on the no-fly list should have the same opportunity.
