Trump's Plan to Militarise Police: What You Need to Know | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines Donald Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions rolling back the Obama-era ban on transferring surplus military-grade equipment to local police departments. Graham discusses the history of police militarisation from the 1033 programme and Bill Clinton's "tough on crime" policies to the dangers of urban warfare tactics, the escalation of civil unrest, and the urgent need for community de-escalation.
