“Bloomberg published a flashy video pitching that 13,000 Mine Resistant Armor Protected vehicles will go to law enforcement agencies across the United States, but the numbers are a little off. ‘To date, 200 requests for law enforcement support have been filled, and 800 are pending,’ a Department of Defense spokesman told TheBlaze. So only several hundred military war vehicles are actually slated for transfer to law enforcement agencies. Within the United States, any federal or state law enforcement agency whose officers have arrest and apprehension authority can request and potentially receive excess DoD personal property through the 1033 program.”
