Senator Rand Paul plans to reintroduce legislation to end the disturbing trend of military equipment ending up in the hands of domestic law enforcement departments across the country.
Paul’s staff revealed to Buzzfeed that the Kentucky Senator will re-energise the debate on the matter in 2015 as a priority.
He will focus on ending transfers of military weapons and vehicles under the Defense Department’s 1033 program, which has seen billions of dollars worth of excess military gear transferred to police and sheriff’s departments in the last two decades.
