    Here's a Really Bad Idea

    President Trump is planning on reversing a ban on allowing local police forces to use surplus military equipment, according to a new report.

    The Trump administration will now allow local police forces to take and use armored vehicles, high-caliber weapons and other kinds of heavy equipment that were once used in the military, USA Today reported Sunday.

    Yes, policing and soldiering should be different things.

    We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
