President Obama just moved to limit the ability of the nation's police from obtaining and using gear from military – and a surface glance would seem to render high marks from the civil rights sector.
But not so fast. The fact that Obama's moving monarch-like to rein in police this way is by itself a big red flag, waving once again in Congress' face. But another, even larger problem is the lie that's brought about this executive action: Obama's using the power of his pen and podium to advance a "hands up, don't shoot" cause that's already been outed as unfounded and false.
Tread carefully; this demilitarized police measure has all the makings of a disaster that leaves law enforcement without the authority they need to properly perform their jobs.
