[RAPTOR]

In the aftermath of the militarized police response to Ferguson protesters,
observers are wondering what when wrong. According to a report in The Week,

equipment to local police annually. The amendment overwhelmingly
failed, and just seven out of 41 voting members of the Congressional
Black Caucus (CBC) supported it.

Probably because the people allow themselves to be governed by those which don't represent or protect them... and in the same point, don't arm themselves for their own protection.

They hold crappy AR15s... A version of the horrible M16... you could do better. I know I did.
