Redacted Tonight 164-War with Iran, War with North Korea, FBI Creating Terrorists

Police should be members of our community, yet they’ve become armed militias with military weapons. Trump is loosening restrictions so police departments can acquire more firepower. This administration twists data on violent crime and justifies the the further militarization of the police, yet it’s important to recognize that the Obama administration’s so-called ban on military grade weapons was more publicity stunt than policy change. In order to justify the police becoming an extension of the military, Americans must be VERY AFRAID. Thankfully, the FBI creates terrorists, then takes credit for stopping them. Since 9/11 the FBI has been using a network of informants to recruit the most vulnerable in our society and influenced them to attempt attacks.

But correspondent Natalie McGill shows how small business owners aren’t laying down without a fight.
