An Obscure Military Program and Local Cops
Local cops have received tens of millions of dollars' worth of discounted military gear under the 1122 program, a secretive federal program.
Examples of purchased gear include armored vehicles, video surveillance programs, and thermal imagers.
President Donald Trump has revoked an executive order issued by his predecessor, Joe Biden, meant to tamp down on the "warrior cop" trend.
This move may lead to the program's growth, posing a danger to protesters facing off against militarized cops.
Author's summary: Trump's executive action may increase militarized police gear.
