Thanks President Obama!!!
Yes, thanks obama...for making our police personnel more likely to get killed performing their duties.

Have you considered the fact that the weapons used by terrorists and militants are much more powerful and deadly than weapons from the 60's through the 80's. The AK's can pierce armor. Obama is bowing to pressure from the black lives matter faction to get rid of these vehicles so not to be used again in a Ferguson like display of looting and killing.
