I think that citizens should be allowed to own whatever police officers are allowed to use without warrants.

The memos supposedly "supporting" this idea are not about an effort to "federalize US police", but efforts to implement different common federal standards than those currently applied through existing federal funding streams. To the extent the application of federal standards through access to federal funding streams is "federalization" of the recipient forces (I probably wouldn't describe it that way, but there's a perspective from which it makes some sense), that's already been done, the recommendation is to change the specific policies applied through the existing federalization.
If I sent a letter to the secretary of state or my own representatives in govt asking for something, like say changing our govts investigation about Syria, you could claim that I somehow influenced the govt. Of course Soros is really rich and could convince people to do things. But HRC is really rich too.
Oh wow, what a bad a idea, maybe just more oversight is the answer, certainly federalization can't be the best answer?
