The sheriff in my county is pretty much an idiot.  He has a “degree” from Jerry Faldwell’s Liberty University and pretty much Peter Principled out as a constable.

He does have a military background but not any combat experience, which makes him hungry, hungry, caterpillar hungry for things that go Boom!

He talked our commissioners court into a military helicopter and a big SWAT Team mobile home, but only because he promised to give them rides in it.

So, you cannot even imagine my relief when …

The Obama administration plans to prohibit federal agencies from providing to local cops certain kinds of military equipment such as grenade launchers, high-caliber weapons and bayonets, in the wake of controversy over a “militarized” police response to unrest last summer in Ferguson, Missouri.

Imagine President Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio doing that.  Hell, they’d give the police nukes.
