An Obscure Military Program and Local Cops
The 1122 program, a secretive federal initiative, has provided local police with tens of millions of dollars' worth of discounted military gear under a lesser-known cousin to another controversial program.
Examples of purchased equipment include armored vehicles, video surveillance programs, and thermal imagers, posing a danger to protesters facing off against militarized cops.
According to a new report, the program is poised to grow under recent executive action from Donald Trump.
President Donald Trump has revoked an executive order issued by his predecessor, Joe Biden, which was meant to reduce the "warrior cop" trend, potentially opening the floodgates for further militarization.
