RUSH: On Monday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the end to an Obama ban which prevented the transfer of surplus military equipment to local police departments. President Trump — who has \u201ca pen and a phone\u201d  — used his pen to sign an executive order overturning Obama\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

Now, Obama\u2019s ban was put in place after liberal activists complained that police in Ferguson, Missouri, were \u201ctoo militarized,” as they tried to quell riots and protect lives and save private property from destruction.<\/p>\n

\"\"It was an easy choice for Obama. Blue lives didn\u2019t matter as much as appeasing the anti-cop leftists. So, he stopped the military from transferring surplus armored vehicles, grenade launchers, armed aircraft, bayonets, and high-caliber weapons.<\/p>\n

Adding insult to injury, Obama warned these kinds of armaments in the hands of law enforcement made police look like an \u201coccupying force.\u201d He said it would create more divisions with \u201cdistrustful communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of whom, by the way, were committing vandalism, arson, and even murder.<\/p>\n

Now, one reason Congress initially approved the transfer of surplus military gear to local cops was to make sure cops had the resources they need to protect us \u2013 and themselves \u2013 from bad people, including well-armed terrorists and all that. Then, along came Obama.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s about time that those who protect and serve are given the respect they deserve, and not treated like they\u2019re the bad guys! We here support the lifting of the Obama ban.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
