'The United States Department of Defense has given away nearly USD 500 million worth of leftover military gear to its local law enforcement in fiscal year 2011.
The surplus equipment includes grenade launchers, helicopters, military robots, M-16 assault rifles and armored vehicles. Through a little known program called 1033, passed by congress in 1997, law enforcement agencies can purchase tools from the US Military to fight drugs and terrorism.'
