My local government had funds offered by a federal grant they didn't apply for. A neighboring county had applied for the federal grant, received a ton of money, and was dishing it out to police across the region.

Sounds like the police have too much money...

Between this and local police working with ICE, it feels like a federal government takeover of everything. The sheriff of a neighboring county has his salary paid by ICE/DHS, and that isn't right. Federalized police departments.
