Michigan town’s feud over military gear gets ugly

quote [ The two-man police department in this Thetford Township has amassed a massive amount of surplus military equipment over the last decade. While much of the gear worth $1 million has never been used by the township, some has been given to residents, township officials said. The township supervisor and a trustee said the police have stymied their attempts to find out what equipment they have, where it’s located and why some of it has been given away. ]

Fighting just crime had become such a bore

If they want to see all the military equipment the police have, simply have a Black Lives Matter protest.

SE is a self-policing community. So basically that makes us a police department, right? If a two-man police department in the sticks can get a million dollars worth of free shit, surely we can at least get steele a surplus military RV!

We have to figure out how to become a virtual nation state, I think. We'll do it once Amazon lays the groundwork. #WhatCouldGoWrong

Don't forget to put a gold fringe around the SENSIBLE ENDOWMENT logo and to always CAPITALIZE the site name.

Are you okay? Do you know what site you're on? What year do you think this is? Who is the Deep State president?

So you say, but someday Matt will arise from where he sleeps under the virtual mountain and lead us to victory against the forces of censorship and good taste.
