Police departments a good source of guns for felons

The federal government program known as '1033' gives local police departments military weapons like Humvees, small tanks called APCs, and automatic weapons.

So as we learn from Mike Brown and Ferguson, we militarized the police. Well, maybe in ways we didn't mean.

For example, the police seem to lose their new equipment. So far, four free Humvees are missing or stolen. Sheriff or sometimes 'Sharif' Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona can't find his M16. Or, nine of his Colt .45 handguns given to him by .... Obama et al.

He's just a good ol' boy. Losing a rifle or a few handguns doesn't mean anything. Well, it means Obama isn't giving him anymore free military weapons. So now we know why the 'Sharif' of Maricopa whines like a baby. Someone took his toys and Nanny won't let him have new ones.

Getting banned from '1033' requires a certain amount of dishonesty or incompetence. If you lose your Humvee but report it stolen within 24 hours, you can get a free replacement.

Is there a problem with the program or just a problem with honesty among our local law enforcement?

Well, in Texas, bastion of justice, Chief William Jason Kelcy 'sold' four million dollars of '1033' goodies before getting Busted!

Make me wonder how long the Chief had to stand on dark street corners whispering, "Hey! Wanna buy a Humvee? How about a machine gun? Dude, I got handguns. Handguns!" before he unloaded the four million dollars in military weapons.

So who buys stolen weapons being sold by the Chief of Police? Don't over think it. Criminals. The most solid citizens in the community. Who else would the Chief of Police trust?

Am I wrong?
