The Breitbart News reported on April 21 that the Black Lives Matter organization tweeted Tuesday that it was upset that Joe Biden was “sending more military equipment” to local police than Trump.
The group tweeted, “Our communities are being terrorized at a greater rate than under Trump, and Biden is currently sending more military equipment to our communities than Trump.”
Black Lives Matter also noted that Biden’s first 100 days are quickly approaching and that the “transfer” of military equipment to local communities must end before the 100 days, a deadline set by Black Lives Matter. The tweet reads, “Biden’s first 100 days are 10 days away. At that point, we need Biden to transfer military equipment to police across the country, including school and campus police.”
The Black Lives Matter website also contained an article on Monday calling for the termination of the 1033 program, which is the Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO). The website says the Office of Law Enforcement Support transfers “surplus military-grade equipment to local law enforcement agencies across the country,” and has “provided more than $7 billion to local law enforcement agencies” since the Clinton administration.
The Black Lives Matter organization also said that the “military” was clearly visible “on the streets before the Shovan verdict” and that this was an example of “state-sanctioned violence against black people.
