What do police need all that ammunition for?
And why do they have M-4's, MP-5's, Glocks, shotguns, and TASERS?
Law Enforcement is always concerned with what they call "OFFICER SAFETY". No longer is the phrase "protect and serve" used but rather 'LAW ENFORCEMENT" is proclaimed to put we the people in fear of them continually while all they are ever trained to be is about their protection. As for the police ammunition shortage; there's just no reason to have all that ammunition anyway. If you need assistance just ask one of we the people, otherwise conserve your ammo and keep our cost down:
