“I can’t imagine any use for bayonets in an urban setting,” stated Sen. Rand Paul to Senate Homeland Security Committee at a hearing last year.
“I can’t answer what a local police force would use a bayonet for,” Alan Estevez said.
Paul snapped back “None”
Rand Paul is completely correct, of course, that there is no need for bayonets in local law enforcement. Bayonets are for hand-to-hand combat in battle and the only purpose is to kill.

Sammie Campbell when did our police force go to Germany and fight the Nazi’s? I think you may have flunked your History class! Lol
Devout Pariiot says:
“Whoever decided to allow armored personnel carriers and bayonets to be GIVEN to most police departments (or ANY police department for that matter)should do prison time since that is use of excessive force in ANY police situation!! PERIOD!!! If these bozo brains had to face hard time for their decisions, they will be FAR less likely to violate our constitutional rights. Posse Comitatus Act is the law of the land, and turning our police departments into combat soldiers is a violation of that act!! These Bozo Brains need to do prison time!”
