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.

    This word 'police' what does it really mean when they are at a fusion center with 50 military agencies and a few israeli double agents?

    To that group of people someone protesting the occupation in palestine or better, to bring the troops home from their failed WoT atrocity, is 100x more of a threat than a murderer or rapist.

    If they weren't actually ok with murder they wouldn't be shooting 'key' protestors in the head and if they cared about rape, they would have been able to keep epstein in jail without the keystone cops routine.

    I think Bernie knows this but he is right to be diplomatic.
