The proposal is part of Sanders' broader plan for police reform.
Wait, they used WOODY HARRELSON as a template? And I'm not sure why facial recognition is the focus here, when I feel that the end of providing military equipment to police forces is much more impactful a change.

Why do you hate MIC-style capitalism? If there's no buyer for old stuff, how can they justify the maintenance costs passed on the tax-payers? Do you want to see jobs being lost? Destitute people not able to pay the taxes used to finance the maintenance of those tanks? (grin)

Of course the Police need tanks. What if they come across some teenagers smoking pot in a park at night?

Ah yes. Some of those teens can be quite intimidating.

One of my favorite ballads, "Black Day in July", Gordon Lightfoot [youtube.com] (Canadian!!):
About the Detroit riots, if any of the geriatric Soylentils can remember back to things like Watts, well before the Rodney King riots, or the Fergeson demonstrations, or, well, we need more tanks in Texas.
