Dear Defense Secretary Ashton Carter,
It is time to put an end to the flow of military equipment from the Pentagon to local communities.
It is unnecessary for any town to be patrolled by militarized police in body armor, mine-resistant vehicles and automatic weapons.
When our country is treated like a war zone, violence only escalates.
Police are hired to protect and serve not search and destroy.
Stop the police from becoming an army
