Speaker 1: On Monday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the end to
Speaker 1: an Obama ban which prevented the transfer of surplus military
Speaker 1: equipment to local police departments. President Trump, who has a
Speaker 1: pen and a phone, used his pen to sign an
Speaker 1: executive order, overturning Obama's decision. Now. Obama's ban was put
Speaker 1: in place after the liberal activists complained the police and
Speaker 1: ferguson Missouri were too militarized as they tried to quell
Speaker 1: riots and protect lives and save private property from destruction.
Speaker 1: He was an easy choice for Obama. Blue lives didn't
Speaker 1: matter as much as appeasing the anticop leftists, so he
Speaker 1: stopped the military from transferring surplus armored vehicles, reneaded launchers,
Speaker 1: armed aircraft, bayonets, and high caliber weapons adding insult to injury.
Speaker 1: Obama warned these kinds of armaments in the hands of
Speaker 1: law enforcement made the police look like an occupying force.
Speaker 1: He said it would create more divisions with distrustful communities,
Speaker 1: some of whom, by the way, we're committing vandalism and
Speaker 1: arson and even murder. Now, one reason Congress initially approved
Speaker 1: the transfer of surplus military gear to local cops was
Speaker 1: to make sure the cops had the resources they need
Speaker 1: to protect us and themselves from bad people, including well
Speaker 1: armed terrorists and all that, and then along came Obama.
Speaker 1: So it's about time that those who protect and serve
Speaker 1: are given the respect they deserve and not treated like
Speaker 1: they are the bad guys. We here support the lifting
Speaker 1: of the Obama band
