Earlier this week, President Barack Obama banned the sale of certain military-style equipment to police departments.
Brian Kilmeade reported tonight on "The Kelly File" that Obama also
thinks that police officers should have "softer looking" uniforms.
Kilmeade explained that Obama thinks that police officers are "making
things worse" when they show up to inner city communities wearing
military-style equipment and riot gear.
"They're concerned about the helmet.
They're concerned about the
shield. It's sending the wrong message," Kilmeade stated. "I used to
think from the civilian point of view that that would be a reason not to
riot, because the police were ready and ready to act."
Obama commissioned a review of the equipment programs last year after
protests in Ferguson, Mo., over the shooting death of an 18-year-old
black man by a police officer.
Kilmeade told Megyn Kelly that this is "unbelievable" and that if he
were a police officer, he wouldn't show up to the next riot.
