The examination comes in the aftermath of the police response to unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, following the police killing of an unarmed black man.
Two senior administration officials said Saturday that the review will examine whether the programs are appropriate; the amount of training provided for using military equipment; and how well the government audits the use of the money and equipment by local police departments....
"There is a big difference between our military and our local law enforcement, and we don't want those lines blurred," Obama told reporters at the White House. "That would be contrary to our traditions." http://www.sfgate.com/news/politics/article/Officials-White-House-reviewing-equipment-program-5708126.php
Can someone give that idiot a big dope slap?
First, Obama doesn't believe in tradition as he has violated so many White House traditions, like using the IRS for political purposes.
But we have seen the cops on the street out gunned time and time again and officers are dying because of it.
This past week, Cascade County, Montana, buried a deputy because he was shot by a thug.
Late this past week, A San Bernardino sheriff's deputy was shot in the head and gravely injured when several thugs opened fire on him.
On Saturday, a police chief in Texas was shot and killed by another thug.
From the My San Antonio:
The Chief of the Elmendorf Police Department was killed during a traffic stop Saturday, the Bexar County Sherriff's Office reported.Michael Pimentel was gunned down just before noon near South First Avenue and East Ninth Street, where he conducted the traffic stop, Bexar Sheriff Susan Pamerleau said.
Pamerleau said the suspect, identified as Joshua Lopez, 24, is in custody. He is to face a charge of capital murder of a police officer. Pamerleau said the Bexar County Sheriff's Office has taken over the investigation of the incident.
Details surrounding the traffic stop were not disclosed, but there was an active graffiti warrant out for Lopez, Pamerleau added.
Pimentel was shot twice, once in the shoulder and once in abdomen, said Sgt. Jason Burchett, who's now the Elmendorf's acting police chief. He added that the suspect suffered from mental illness.
Alderman Polo Maldonado and Alderwoman Linda Pena Ortiz confirmed the chief, who was flown to University Hospital, had died from his injuries.

This audit is an insult to cops and those in the military, especially Obama isn't really serious about the request- he is just playing to his ever shrinking base of brain dead supporters.
The cops are facing heavily armed thugs who could care less about killing cops and 28 have been shot and killed so far this year.
Just more evidence that Obama is the dumbest and worst president ever.
