To whom it may concern:
I would like to request additional information regarding the following agenda item.
Specifically, what kind of military equipment is the LPD looking to use? And is it expected this equipment would be used to actually serve and protect citizens or harm them? You’ll kindly pardon my skepticism, but after seeing federal agents use uncalled for lethal force against US citizens this year, I have questions.
