Florida sheriff: People will die if I don't have my military tank








Published on Oct 16, 2015

The federal government has had a program that allows local police departments to acquire military equipment and vehicles at a discounted rate. Since there has been issues with police using excessive force on civilians and peaceful protests, the government is trying to roll that program back. One sheriff in Florida is not happy about that decision. Ana Kasparian (The Point), Margaret Howell (The Lip TV), comedian Kerry Coddett (Comedy Central, MTV2) and hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

I'm confident he has a PowerPoint detailing the many times they rolled out the tank and the multiple lives saved.

After a few sorties up and down main street and a victory lap around the town square, local merchants and citizens might have something to say about the destruction of pavement.
