SPVM buys military gear
What philosophy is behind the SPVM’s purchase of military-grade weaponry? It’s implied in this piece that, since the SQ and some suburban police forces have tooled up to heavier grade military assault rifles, the least the SPVM can do for its guys is give them equivalent toys.

It really casts Projet’s recent grandstanding on handguns in a different light.

I am not seeing the connection there, Joey.

If you don’t see an incongruence between “handguns should be eradicated” and “we need to militarize our police,” well, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Hey Joey, I’m pretty sure this initiative didn’t come from City hall. The police have a great deal of discretion with regards to their spending.
