The Obama administration is spending $75 million a year arming EPA special agents with drones, night vision goggles, guns and assault ships.
The EPA special force was formed to take out US polluters.
The Spectator reported:
According to a report released last week by a watchdog group called Open the Books, the EPA has spent millions of dollars recently on guns, ammo, body armor, camouflage equipment, and even night-vision goggles to arm its agents in the war on polluters.
The Illinois-based investigative group examined thousands of checks totaling more than $93 billion from 2000 to 2014 by the EPA, and its auditors indicate that about $75 million is authorized each year for “criminal enforcement” of America’s clean air and water laws. This includes cash for a cadre of 200 “special agents” that engage in SWAT-style ops.

Down with the EPA. The sooner the better.
The "Environmental Protection Agency" needs body armor, night vision goggles, "assault ships" and a specialized SWAT team to catch pollution criminals?
Whatever happened to simply "Give a Hoot, Don't Pollute"?
Oh wait. "Forfeiture laws", making it profitable, by confiscating everything in sight. Another long arm of the government revenue machine.
it's all spiraling out of control.
I suppose just by me typing this, makes me a domestic terrorist.
