First post-Ferguson legislation aims to curb police 'militarization'

This has happened before when cops were outgunned by 20s era mobsters and had to upgrade their weaponry to keep up if not ahead. Nothing new here.

Balance the upgrade of Police equipment, with the constantly changing threats of open borders, anarchists within, terror cells inside the US, and Cartels operating inside the country, and I don't blame them for wanting the equipment.

But they aren't being outgunned at all.

Oh yes they are....

"A growing number of police departments across the country are taking steps to make sure that their officers are not outgunned on the streets. Many large agencies, including the Illinois State Police and Missouri Highway Patrol, as well as local police departments are upping the firepower carried by officers on patrol."

None of what you quoted did anything to prove that cops were being outgunned.
 
Gang members are showing up at crime scenes with assault rifles and body armor.

You have yet to present any evidence of that happening with regularity across the country.
