Local Cops Get Pentagon's Hand-Me-Downs

I thought the Pentagon was having enough trouble keeping itself supplied with necessary equipment, but apparently it has some extra stuff to share. AP reports that the Defense Department gave away about 380,000 pieces of equipment in fiscal 2005 to 16,000 law enforcement agencies across the country. The items -- including helicopters, night-vision goggles and photocopy machines -- were worth a total of $124 million.
