Jackass Republican Peter T. King

From the New York Times:

Representative Peter T. King, Republican of New York, a member of both the Intelligence and Homeland Security committees,...said he had seen nothing to justify scaling back federal police grants. He said there was no evidence that giving the police heavy weaponry and equipment worsened the situation in Ferguson or led to abuses elsewhere.

What a jackass Peter T. King is! Was he not watching any television or reading any news accounts? The local police in Ferguson, MO overreacted and appeared in full battle mode in response to protesters. Police should not confront US citizens in full battle gear!
