Senator Rand Paul Speaks Out Against Trump Plan To Militarize Local Police

Unfortunately, the Trump Administration is planning on rolling back former President Obama's ban on militarizing local and state police forces.

Local police are not meant to be warriors. They're not meant to look or act like an army. President Trump is planning on moving very far away from the U.S. Constitution that he swore to uphold.

Fortunately, Senator Rand Paul is speaking out against this planned action:

Americans must never sacrifice their liberty for an illusive and dangerous, or false, security. I disagree with AG Jeff Sessions on 1033...

The militarization of our law enforcement is due to an unprecedented expansion of government power in this realm.

— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) August 28, 2017

It's one thing for fed officials to work w/ local authorities to reduce or solve crime. It's another for them to subsidize militarization.

I will oppose this move by the AG and administration. And I will continue to fight for our civil liberties and criminal justice reform.

— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) August 28, 2017

All will be major issues this fall. Any order today still needs to be funded and I'll bring this issue to the Senate floor.
