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.

    I find your flippant attitude concerning.

    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.

      Also they might make fun of me because my trousers are no longer in style.
