According to the
Washington Times:
The Metropolitan Police Department has joined other major U.S. cities in arming patrol officers with assault rifles to protect them against criminals with high-powered weapons, weeks after being released from a federal program that monitors the use of excessive force.
The Chicago Police Department is making similar plans and the City of Miami Police Department is already using such weapons.
But D.C. and Chicago are gun free zones! Why do the criminals have guns at all?
