[O]n Monday Trump announced his undoing of modest reforms President Obama made to a Pentagon program that distributes old military equipment to local police departments for use against civilians. This program allows weapons of war to be used in American streets — bayonets, grenades and track-propelled armored vehicles are among the items now allowed for distribution to police forces. While Obama’s reforms were mostly symbolic, Trump’s reversal — like the rally violence, the Sessions appointment, the police brutality speech and the Arpaio pardon — communicates a lot about what he means when he says “law and order.”
It communicates, as police misconduct expert Radley Balko wrote Monday, that “[u]nder this administration, there will be zero interest in discussion, oversight or prevention of police abuse,” and that as far as Trump is concerned, policing can’t be “too aggressive, too militaristic, too abusive [or] too biased.”
For Trump, “law” means government agents like Arpaio, and police officers more generally, are above the law, while the general public is subject to the sort of encroachments on personal liberty Sessions supports. And “order” means these onerous laws will be enforced violently, with tools of war and consequence-free targeting of people Trump dislikes.
