Cops and Prosecutors Doing Cop and Prosecutor Things

The town didn't have to pay for that. It was part of that Federal program where they give military shit to law enforcement. I remember one of the conditions is they can't sell the stuff. So don't go to your local police auction looking for a slightly used MRAP.

That got me curious. 1033 Program. Here's a good breakdown of it.

Controlled property includes night vision equipment, small arms, tactical vehicles, and aircraft, and is the type of property most relevant to the discussion of police militarization.

At least most of it isn't tanks
