EPA spends millions on military-style weapons

The Environmental Protection Agency has spent millions of dollars over the last decade on military-style weapons to arm its 200 “special agents” to fight environmental crime.

Among the weapons purchased are guns, body armor, camouflage equipment, unmanned aircraft, amphibious assault ships, radar and night-vision gear and other military-style weaponry and surveillance activities, according to a new report by the watchdog group Open the Books.

“Protecting the environment just got real. With millions of dollars spent on military style weaponry, the EPA is now literally ensconced with all institutional force,” said Adam Andrzejewski, founder of Open the Books and the author of the report.


.............The EPA estimates that each Special Agent costs taxpayers $216,000 per year in salary, travel, equipment, training and other expenses, according to the report.

I was reading about the militarized build up of govt not long ago. There are now over seventy agencies with tactical units... including the dept of education. It's lame when seagoat just blames local police... this trend comes from the top.

Government knows it's crimes and also knows it isn't trusted loved or beyond the reach of it's citizens. They want to keep living the high life and are paying their minions well to protect them. The Government has given them every law and privileged advantage to do that.
