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.
ReplyDeleteThe "Environmental Protection Agency" needs body armor, night vision goggles, "assault ships" and a specialized SWAT team to catch pollution criminals?

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.
