Miami Police Want to Spend $100,000 on AR-15-Style Rifles
In Miami-Dade County, cities can't spend money on public transportation, affordable housing, or sea-level-rise preparedness without residents stomping their feet and flooding commission meetings to protest. But ask for six figures' worth of controversial, military-grade police equipment, and South Florida cities will pretty much just hand you a blank check. After City of Miami Police used the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando to rush-order $300,000 worth of military-grade armor last month, that same police department now says it needs to spend $101,332.64 on 148 AR-15-style Bushmaster rifles, 148 rifle scopes, and other supplies.
