In just the past year, the Pentagon sprinkled $500 million worth of
military equipment to local law enforcement. The swag comes from the
department's excess property program, which has supplied over $4.3

weapons like grenade launchers, and armored vehicles. And it's just a
click away for police. Local departments can shop on the DOD's website
for smalls arms and supplies, or fill out a one-page request form for an
armored vehicle.
