 of *Last Week Tonight*, HBO host John Oliver ripped into small towns that
have equipped their police with war-like military equipment. One town was
Keene, New Hampshire, where their military-grade armored personnel truck
was acquired to protect critical targets –– like the annual Pumpkin
Festival. Another was Doraville, Georgia. Oliver showed a wild video clip
from the Doraville Police Department’s website, with a Ninja-dressed SWAT
team going for a joyride in a souped-up armored personnel carrier, all set
to a heavy metal song called “Die MotherF***er Die.”

In a visit to Doraville last week, I asked Officer Gene Callaway why his
sleepy town of 8,000, which hasn’t had a murder since 2009, needed an
armored personnel carrier (APC). “The vehicle provides Doraville with a
scalable response and ensures the safety of police officers,” he answered.
Scalable response? Safety of police officers? Doraville has never been a
crime-ridden town. “We at Doraville are proud to be ranked 39th in safest
cities in Georgia,” Callaway himself bragged. It seems the most useful task
the APC performed was pulling 18-wheelers back onto the salted lanes of
Route 285 during snowstorms. Oh, and let’s not forget that “the kids love
playing on it” when it rolls up to the county fair, Callaway told me.

Doraville’s armored vehicle is a gift from Uncle Sam, as part of the
billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment now flowing from the
federal government to state and local police departments. Not only is it an
incredible waste of taxpayer money, but it gets people–including
children–accustomed to seeing military vehicles on their streets. Worst of
all, it is causing police to act like soldiers, especially since one of the
stipulations of getting this equipment is that it must be used within one
year of receipt
<http://send.zcomm.org/wf/click?upn=9PHos1J7-2FD2Lw6jereECeNLGs3ocss1O2kcgD4VkZGxNQKyMz3VkxHcbWOxm-2F-2FK4zNQOFozl5YCGVxHlRDfLMW4yyhEmXg6OJtpt0xG7kqDp8uu-2Fd0bygEme16Nuhpc84ex2Wio0BdaXvGvZxZTd-2F-2FqS-2BXIyw4HxC-2FHiC36-2BA9I-3D_V-2FUUiW5KvBPNV-2FItFYsbuIFOqr58NacNTIV3-2FGcH-2BSDN63M7pT2yx7aU2AsJvHQXYvDXsmPNlLe-2FZS5AS9rZPBbzTqoqiU664BNKh-2ByPVim17mDxis54hVuDraC76LnNH7oMgFBhLxJq4182Pyx1CumH9ks25JAJkcxivTP-2FN7gxLTk2on6sm7tmF4CyOym9Rke7CvdubVvYOmMHvT-2FICA-3D-3D>
.

The Doraville Police, embarrassed by the negative publicity from their
video, took it down (they insist that the theme music was unauthorized).
Now on their website you can see much more benevolent images, such as three
smiling police officers, one dressed as Santa Claus, with two young girls
who are the recipients of the “Santa Pop Program” that pairs police with
“less-fortunate children.”

But let’s face it. Military toys, constantly dangled before the police at
law enforcement exhibits and fairs, are hard to resist. And with the
Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security giving out
this stuff for free, why not get some hand-me-downs? Doraville and Keene
are just two of thousands of cities and towns throughout the nation that
have successfully applied for surplus equipment from a federal government
agency.

Your head will spin if you take a look at this map

received military surplus and the supplies they’ve received. The
acquisitions under the Department of Defense (DOD) program since its
inception in 1991 are valued at $5.1 billion, with $449.3 million given out
in fiscal year 2013 alone

In just the past 5 years, as part of Section 1033 of the National Defense
Authorization Act of 1997, the Pentagon has given away “tens of thousands
of machine guns; nearly 200,000 ammunition magazines; thousands of pieces
of camouflage and night-vision equipment; and hundreds of silencers,
armored cars and aircraft” to counties in every state throughout the
country.

While attention is now focused on the DOD’s program, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) has a program

is three times the size. This year alone, DHS plans to give away $1.6
billion worth of military equipment for counterterrorism, border security
and disaster preparedness. Thanks to DHS

every
squad car in Fargo, North Dakota, has assault rifles and kevlar helmets and
1,500 beat cops in Philadelphia are trained to use AR-15s.

DHS is also giving out money for a few dozen police departments to
experiment with drones. When the Federal Aviation Administration opens US
airspace to drones in the coming years, civil liberty advocates fear that
the nation’s 18,000 police departments will be lining up for DHS grants to
get their latest toy–a toy that has the capacity to spy, stun, maim and
kill.

This is already starting. In May 2012, DHS

began
distributing $4 million in experimental grants to help local law
enforcement agencies buy their own small drones, opening a new market for
politically connected drone makers as the wars overseas shrink. The
sheriff’s department in Montgomery County, Texas received a $250,000 grant
to buy a drone, which in April 2014 crashed

police into returning two drones they had received from DHS grants for
$82,000. The drones were then pawned

rid of them.

In the past, Congress has done nothing to rollback the handouts. When
Congressman Alan Grayson introduced legislation in June to limit funding to
the 1033 program, it was quashed by an overwhelming vote of 355-62,
including 35 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus who voted
against it. House Democrats reportedly voted against Grayson’s legislation
because it’s “hard to say ‘no’

could help and in what type of situation.”

But the killing of Michael Brown and Ferguson’s subsequent conversion into
a warzone is leading to a critical discussion on racism and police power in
America, and also to a new awareness about how our police forces have
become more and more like the military.

United States Representative Hank Johnson (D-GA) has plans to try again in
September, when Congress reconvenes. He is introducing a bill
<http://send.zcomm.org/wf/click?upn=9PHos1J7-2FD2Lw6jereECeNLGs3ocss1O2kcgD4VkZGxNQKyMz3VkxHcbWOxm-2F-2FK4zNQOFozl5YCGVxHlRDfLMW4yyhEmXg6OJtpt0xG7kqDzLU9BjTTgkGJwq-2BNI8o5NDo6cd4F-2FhzoVkjVH9gAGWBDGq5pWQzFoJCQUdX7N5e0-3D_V-2FUUiW5KvBPNV-2FItFYsbuIFOqr58NacNTIV3-2FGcH-2BSDN63M7pT2yx7aU2AsJvHQXYvDXsmPNlLe-2FZS5AS9rZPPYE67Zs-2FOSNk592CarX98BS56K4HIHc8Y0CoprHboVOjVXegTAW3ZUveWL3zK8GB6y8baWYMWk8r3EUDgB6e5c-2FSvXSMfbp0e4aO6L8T-2BC-2FY4qzokcj-2FAy0yoU8hEjrcQ-3D-3D>
that
would ban police departments from receiving armored vehicles, armored
drones, high caliber weapons, gun silencers, and stun grenades under the
Defense Department’s 1033 Program.

Given the roadblocks to get any bill passed in Congress, though, it’s
critical to put pressure on state and local governments to opt out of
receiving military equipment. CODEPINK has launched a campaign for people
to pressure their local governments to pass resolutions
<http://send.zcomm.org/wf/click?upn=9PHos1J7-2FD2Lw6jereECeNLGs3ocss1O2kcgD4VkZGxNQKyMz3VkxHcbWOxm-2F-2FK4zNQOFozl5YCGVxHlRDfLMW4yyhEmXg6OJtpt0xG7kqDjqRv-2F3QzJ8KJN22xLTFCULWsyjUnQXmsK7VUOqxoWKOkZHeOK1vmaTPa0e44KLz8-3D_V-2FUUiW5KvBPNV-2FItFYsbuIFOqr58NacNTIV3-2FGcH-2BSDN63M7pT2yx7aU2AsJvHQXYvDXsmPNlLe-2FZS5AS9rZPCKXTS6v8Ttx1UGVndPSdAII-2B97KbqJC8w-2BVpkdqsg9AcmqeeIGGWq-2B9H4S1FIDx-2FPunqUcKGGukaLIyy20bw7QwQs-2Fkq1aQQM3eM1GPsf9TkKgc6w3JGc7Sjz4nd-2BtguA-3D-3D>
pledging
not to apply for nor accept military gear from the Defense Department or
the Department of Homeland Security and to decommission supplies they
already have.

Our police departments should not become dumping grounds for weapons makers
looking for new clients to replace sales for waning wars abroad. Nor should
they be repressive agencies that treat the public, especially black men,
like enemies. Nor should they be militarized to deal with real or imagined
threats of terrorism. Counterterrorism is supposed to be under the purview
of the Pentagon, FBI, CIA, NSA and more.

There is simply no reason for police to be armed like the military. As the
ACLU says in its excellent *report
