TSA Sponsors "Urban Shield" Assault on American Freedoms

Why is a "transportation security agency" sponsoring the Urban Shield expo? TSA is an offical sponsor of this loathsome threat to our civil liberties, which is being kicked out of Oakland, California and its Marriott Convention Center:

• 'Urban Shield' protest blocks Broadway in Oakland
• Urban Shield: after Ferguson, police and suppliers consider fate of military-grade tactical gear
• A Small Victory: Urban Shield, the Police Militarization Glorification Convention, To Leave Oakland

The Oakland mayor and council have made a strong statement against police violence by insisting that future expos be held elsewhere.

Meanwhile, TSA's endorsement should leave no doubts as to this agency's real nature.
