Let Me Do The Talking!

The killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, has once again brought the issue of American racial inequality and racial profiling to the surface. In addition, it has renewed the debate over law enforcement's handling of these types of encounters and the militarization of local police forces.

After 9/11, the Defense Department started to give excess heavy military equipment to domestic law enforcement agencies under its excess property program, known also as the 1033 program. After seeing media taken in Ferguson that looks like scenes from Ukraine or the Middle East, this policy is now under review by President Obama and the Defense Department.

The Preamble to our Constitution states: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The armament we are seeing here is not any way to form a more perfect Union. Nor does it promote the general welfare of all the people and certainly doesn't provide for domestic tranquility.
