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'm not sure I was being ironic.

    I'm not sure I would vote for someone in their seventies to run anything, it's too old.

    Having said that, Bernie Sanders' policies are exactly what the US needs, but I don't think there is any way he will get the Democratic nomination.

    It's truly amazing how you've managed to come up with worse since!

    Not me mate. I'm not American.
