The details of the Toys-For-Cops program have been neatly sorted, and while almost all of it is appalling and ridiculous, these two jumped out at me in a quick scan:
Monterey County Sherrif Dept: COFFEE MAKER,AUTOMATIC 2 $1,081.52 Monterey Park Police Dept: PISTOL,CALIBER .45,AUTOMATIC 5 $293.55
I think we’ve found the world’s worst .45 pistols, and the world’s best coffee-makers.
My own local cops got an MRAP and 30 M-16s, so those vegetable-pickers better mind their manners!
