Obama executive order limits police use of military equipment.

Google (or your favorite search method) this latest order. (warning...the media is definately slanted).

No tracked vehicles for police, no large caliber weapons, no grenade launchers..., no camo, limits riot shields (??). Even heard there is consideration of pulling all military grade equipment from police.

Wondered where the Ferguson fiasco was going, POTUS and AG interest (before other support of various interest groups and action), racial unrest events everywhere (even the First Lady dig at the Tuskegee commencments).

Is this where this was all planned to go from the beginning.

Here's some food for thought.  Look at all the American weapons ISIS has acquired from the allies we armed after they wilted like a cheap suit. 
ISIS got it's start in an American prison.  Lots of free time to plan such stuff.  Maybe the administration is thinking a large scale prison revolt, (not totally out of the question), could result in these weapons falling into the hands of outnumbered police. 

shooter:
 from what ive heard and read. the govnt will not supply the military items to police, that includes tracked vehicles, they will continue to supply MRAP,s  and other wheeled vehicles,
    And, it does not limit what police depts. can buy on the open markets.

Burkdoggy:
What is considered a "large caliber weapon"?  I hate when terms like that are used.  Like that Feinstein woman that doesn't like rifles with that shoulder thing that goes up. There can't be anything good about this president making executive orders, regardless of the topic.

SS_N_NE:
Even with equipment, look how recent events have allowed the criminal element to run amok, looting and burning.

I still believe if people were behaving themselves, there would be fewer police encounters.

The recent Waco incident at the Twin Peaks, could have used some armored vehicles....etc.
