Senior Pentagon officials are concerned about the militarized appearance of police and law enforcement officers

The official said that one of the Pentagon's concerns is that law enforcement officers are wearing uniforms and using equipment that bear a striking resemblance to those worn by US troops in combat."Civilian law enforcement is sometimes dressed like the military. It confuses people. The public is led to believe that some of these civilian law enforcement units are military units instead -- they are not. We don't want that confusion," the official said.

"Top general apologizes for appearing in photo-op with Trump after forceful removal of protestersSome lawmakers have long criticized what they say is the militarization of police forces in the US, and many have called for an end to a long-existing program that transfers surplus military equipment such as armored vehicles, firearms, and night vision goggles to civilian law enforcement agencies.

Your tweets are always incorrect. Nothing new or shocking about it.

Well thank God someone acknowledges the optics...and the reality of firing “nonlethal bullets and chemicals” on citizens exercising their rights.

You fight fire with fire libs

Well, you asked for it, so....

Here is a lesson apparently needed by everyone listed here CNN, the Senior Pentagon officials and the Defenses Secretary. The President is the Commmander and Chief of the Armed Forces given to him by The United States Constitution!!! He gets to call the shots y’all don’t.

They need amour! I'm concerned with Police safety.

When the word 'concerned' is backed by action I'll give a rat's ass when they use it.

So are they supposed to show up to an out of control protest in daily gear then say timeout and go change?

Yeah we are too.

They are breaking the law they are not peaceful protesters.
