“500 innocent Americans are murdered by police every year (USDOJ). 5,000 since 9/11, equal to the number of US soldiers lost in Iraq. In 1994 the US Government passed a law authorizing the Pentagon to donate surplus Cold War era military equipment to local police departments. In the 20 years since, weaponry designed for use on a foreign battlefield, has been handed over for use on American streets…against American citizens. The ‘War on Drugs’ and the ‘War on Terror’ replaced the Cold War with billions in funding and dozens of laws geared towards this new ‘war’ against its own citizens, creating what is being called an ‘epidemic of police brutality’ sweeping the nation.”
