Recently, President Barack Obama let America know just how anti-police he and his administration is. Beyond using the Justice Department to harass police departments for supposed discrimination, now he’s calling on officers to choose to be less safe – by wearing softer equipment and uniforms!

This is the continuation of Ferguson MO and Baltimore MD problems.  Remember all of this started at the top at the White House and all of these cities are just falling in line to reduce the power of the police department so they can continue their agenda of wrecking the U.S.

This is outrageous! As Brian Kilmeade of Fox News explained to host Megyn Kelly, Obama believes officers should have “softer looking” uniforms, instead of the hard riot hear our officers need to handle intense situations, such as the recent violence in Baltimore, Maryland.

Kilmeade explained that Obama thinks that police officers are “making things worse” when they show up to inner city communities wearing military-style equipment and riot gear.

“They’re concerned about the helmet. They’re concerned about the shield. It’s sending the wrong message,” Kilmeade stated. “I used to think from the civilian point of view that that would be a reason not to riot, because the police were ready and ready to act.”

Obama commissioned a review of the equipment programs last year after protests in Ferguson, Mo., over the shooting death of an 18-year-old black man by a police officer.

Kilmeade told Megyn Kelly that this is “unbelievable” and that if he were a police officer, he wouldn’t show up to the next riot.

In addition, the new policy prohibits police stations from buying things such as armored vehicles, grenade launchers, and large caliber weapons and ammunition. Obama doesn’t care that criminals already have far worse equipment… He is determined to disarm the police!

The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) is FURIOUS at Obama’s suggestion, and issued a vicious statement:

A series of recommendations made by the Law Enforcement Equipment Working Group creates a list of equipment that is prohibited and a list that is “controlled” and agencies seeking to acquire this equipment would be forced to take additional steps, making it a more arduous process.

The FOP was very disappointed that the “controlled” equipment list identified protective gear like anti-ballistic shields and helmets as well as armored vehicles, as this will make these defensive purchases much more difficult to obtain. Similarly, some less than lethal technologies have also been put on the “controlled” equipment list.

A quick glance at the litany of organizations that were contacted by the Working Group shows very clearly that the input and feedback provided by the Fraternal Order of Police and other law enforcement groups was drowned out as the changes announced today are not in line with our positions on these programs.

All of us know that this issue is not really about equipment. We ought not to be distracted by thinking the problem is with the types of equipment or how the equipment is procured. Instead, we need to focus on better command decision-making at the local and State level with respect to how and when the equipment is deployed in the field. This, and of course appropriate training for the officers who are directed to use the equipment, is critical.

The men and women of our local police stations risk their lives every day to keep our families safe. They deserve our respect, and taxpayers should provide them with the equipment they need to do their jobs.

Now we will nee to start with removing bullet proof glass from the White house and all armor from the presidential vehicles.   Next disarm the secret police charged with protecting the president. While they are at it, they should remove the fencing from around the white house. Store all these defensive measures until a future president who respects Law officers comes along.

What ever happened to states rights? Why is the President interfering in local police matters? He Is protecting and encouraging the rioters and not the police. He sounds like an advocate of violent protests and a handicapped police force.  All employees under the control of the Executive branch should physically stay out of the states. Otherwise they are interring with the State government’s authority over the citizens of the state. The state should consider arresting any federal employee interfering with the local police. If a resident of a state has a legal complaint bring it to the court. If the government has a legal complaint bring it to a court and prove your case. Otherwise you are just inciting riots.
