OPINION:
In my opinion, letting the police have the equipment they need to keep the population safe should be a good thing (“Donald Trump’s vow to return military equipment to police jeopardizes outreach to blacks,” Web, Sept. 12). If a person is not breaking the law, why would he or she need to fear the police having this equipment?
Furthermore, what if there is a shooter with higher-powered, illegally purchased weapons who decides to commit a terrorist attack in a high-population area? I would feel extra safe if I knew that our law enforcement was well equipped and ready to combat any type of attack.
