It has become clear now that local PDs are stockpiling some seriously dangerous doodads free of cost as part of a little-known program from the Pentagon. You can thank Uncle Sam, the Department of Defense and your own American tax dollars for the 1033 Program, an initiative that is giving hundreds of millions of bucks’ worth of military hardware from the DoD and putting it in the hands of your favorite neighborhood cop.
In 2011 alone, the Department of Defense forked over roughly $500 million
The year before, the 1033 Program aided local departments with $212 million in weaponry. So far for Fiscal Year 2012, orders are up more than 400 percent compared with figures from the same time an year earlier.
grenade launchers, helicopters, military robots, M-16 assault rifles and armored vehicles

Maybe the goverment thinks the euro crisis is not
going to be fixed and its going KABOOM very soon,
So get ready for a lot of angry people who just found
out the money in the bank just got worthless/missing and
cant buy food or pay bills.
As soon as I read your post I called my father who is a Deputy Chief of Police here and asked him about this program/ He said its been around forever and basically they get military surplus items like M-16's etc...
He said that nothing "new" or "additional" to that program has been introduced recently.

Imagine this
Imagine the aftermath of a series of devastating terrorist attacks, followed by economic collapse, interruption of essential services and transportation, fuel and food etc... Culminating in urban chaos, and complete breakdown of civility...
Now imagine the masses of survivors fleeing, with no place to go...
They may be happy to see FEMA, and the authorities ready to help.
